Senator Barnabas Gemade Jeered By Politicians At A Function In Benue.

Senator representing Benue North East senatorial zone, Chief Barnabas Gemade,was recently mocked by some politicians at a function in Adikpo Benue state,This happened when Gemade was jeered by politicians while making a speech at the function,he however dismissed the incident  saying it was “sponsored by some politicians to score a cheap point.”
The Senator was said to have been interrupted with jeers while speaking at the burial of elder statesman, Dr. Liambe Shande, in Kwande local government of the state.
In a press statement signed by his media aide, Benji Ugba Uyeh and issued in Abuja yesterday, Senator Gemade wondered how “a group of sponsored politicians would choose to defy the solemn atmosphere of a funeral ceremony to score a cheap political point to please their sponsor.”
He said there was need to set the records straight to avoid a situation where unsuspecting citizens and party men are taken in by what he termed “sponsored activities.”
He said most of “the so called elders referred to are spent forces who were unable to deliver even their polling units to the party during the last elections and have no hope of doing so in future” and that some are not even members of the PDP.
“For the records, authentic PDP elders of the zone have not at any point in time endorsed anybody for the senatorial elections of 2015, and those claiming to have done so are not recognized by the party and are merely pandering to the wishes of their sponsor,” he added.
He said, if and when there is the need to do so, the right thing would be done according to the rules and regulations enshrined in the PDP constitution.
