MEANWHILE, the Director-General of the Voice of Nigeria (VON), Osita Okechukwu has tongue-lashed the Enugu State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Ben Nwoye, saying he is defending his paymasters.
Okechukwu in a statement on Thursday, said, “I understand where Ben Nwoye is coming from. He is defending his garri. You can imagine a man who Juliet Ibekaku had bruised with court cases arising from factional battle with Okey Ogbodo.
“He has no other option than to defend the indefensible. Ask him whether anyone from Enugu State is chairman of a panel of any sort, while Edo State has almost 30 per cent of the total of 37 chairmen of primary election panels.
