DAN ONJEH: A POLITICAL SOCIOPATH AND APOSTLE OF DEMOCRATIC TRAVESTY
By Morgan Adikwu
At a time when democracy in Benue State is under siege, Comrade Dan Onjeh has once again exposed himself as a political sociopath, willing to trample on democratic principles in blind loyalty to Governor Hyacinth Alia. His recent statement defending the unlawful purported removal of Justice Maurice Ikpambese as Chief Judge of Benue State is not just a display of sycophancy but a dangerous endorsement of executive lawlessness.
It is both amusing and pathetic that the so-called ambassador of Fulani herdsmen resettlement, who masquerades as an advocate of herdsmen occupation in Benue, has the audacity to accuse me of misleading the public. Yet, rather than addressing the undeniable realities confronting our people, he resorts to feeble defenses and outright falsehoods in an attempt to shield his benefactors.
