Ex NANS President Cries, As Ortom Win Elections by SirIconR(m): 6:18pm On Mar 24, 2019 |
Former President of National
Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Mr
Daniel Onjeh, on Sunday burst into tears after the
INEC declared Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue
winner of the 2019 governorship election
Onjeh, who started crying in reaction to
Ortom’s victory at his home town in
Ogbadibo, stated that he was weeping for
Benue people.
According to him, he did not know how they will
be able to endure another four years of torture
and deprivation under Ortom.
Onjeh said he was not sure if President
Mohammadu Buhari would release more bailout
funds and Paris Club refunds to Benue in the next
four years since the ones released before had not
been accounted for.
He said he wept for Benue workers, pensioners
and their families because they went out enmass
to vote out Ortom for nonpayment of salaries and
pensions.
Onjeh is also the Board Chairman, Project
Development Agency (PRODA)
“How long will the children of workers and
pensioners in Benue be out of school for lack of
financial support from their incapacitated and
oppressed parents?
“How long will Benue workers and pensioners
endure this hunger and denial as a result of
nonpayment of their wages?”
“The painful side is that the same resources the
workers and pensioners were denied, were the
same Ortom used to buy votes.”
Onjeh expressed surprise at the way PDP big
shots in Benue, who condemned Ortom’s
governance style while he was in APC, made a U-
turn to support the same man they condemned.
“I’m surprised at how David Mark, who accused
Ortom of distribution of wheelbarrows to Benue
youths as the only project he has done, could
turn around and support the same Ortom to win
second term in office.”
“Suswam also accused Ortom of ballooning the
wage bill when Ortom was in APC but turned
around to support him to win a second term in
office.”
“Abba Moro also condemned Ortom and said
that he failed woefully as such, does not deserve
a second term but turned around to support him
because he defected to their party.”
“This flip-flap Politicians’ behavior shows that
they are only working for their own selfish
purpose and not for the common good of the
masses as always portrayed,” Onjeh lamented.
The former student unionist therefore, encouraged
Mr Emmanuel Jime of APC who contested
against Ortom not to give up on the fight for his
mandate.
Onjeh urged Jime to head to the tribunal, pointing
out that he had good grounds to do so since
there were so many irregularities of rigging and
electoral malpractices in the conduct of the
election.
“I expected INEC to have cancelled the places
where the use of Card Readers was even
disregarded.
“The places are Guma, Logo, Buruku, Ukum and
Vandeikya local government areas. |

Dan Onjeh Should shut up. He also used to wine & dine with Ortom. Always running to Ortom to beg for money until they fell apart recently. Dan Onjeh has little credibility moving round with Cultists and borrowing money from people right left & center. 1 Like |
