In response to recent allegations made by Hon. Nancwat Bendel, Member Representing Langtang South State Constituency, Hon. Bulus Vincent Venman, Member Representing Langtang North and South Federal Constituency, wishes to set the record straight and address the unfounded claims circulating in the media.
Hon. Vincent Venman categorically denies the accusation of withholding campaign funds meant for the gubernatorial election of Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda during the 2023 general elections. As a dedicated and loyal member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. Vincent has never been in control of or responsible for managing campaign funds. Furthermore, as a Federal Representative and not a party executive, he has no direct access to these funds.
It is well-known among party faithful in Langtang North and South that Hon. Vincent has consistently been the primary financier of APC activities in the area, often utilizing personal resources to support the party’s growth and success. Accusing him of diverting funds is not only false but also a deliberate attempt to mislead the public and tarnish his hard-earned reputation.
The suspension of Hon. Bendel from the party is an internal matter, and Hon. Vincent was neither involved nor aware of the decision beforehand. The news of Hon. Bendel’s suspension came as a surprise to Hon. Vincent, who has since called on the party leadership to establish a reconciliation committee to address grievances and promote unity within the APC.
Hon. Vincent believes that internal disagreements should be resolved through dialogue and collaboration, not through unfounded accusations and public disputes. He emphasizes that creating unnecessary crises within the party will only weaken its position ahead of future elections.
Rather than engaging in baseless allegations and political rivalry, Hon. Vincent urges Hon. Bendel to focus on delivering the dividends of democracy to the people of Langtang South. Unlike his counterparts in other constituencies, Hon. Bendel has yet to initiate any significant projects or developmental initiatives for his constituents.
The people of Langtang North and South deserve leaders who prioritize their welfare and development over personal political ambitions. Hon. Vincent remains committed to serving his constituents diligently and will continue to support efforts that strengthen the APC and improve the lives of the people.
Hon. Vincent calls on all APC members and supporters in Langtang North and South to remain calm and united. He stresses the importance of fostering peace and cohesion within the party, as only through collective effort can they achieve meaningful progress and deliver on their promises to the people.
The APC leadership is urged to listen to all sides of any dispute, encourage dialogue, and avoid actions that could further divide the party. By working together, they can build a stronger, more resilient party ready to face future challenges and opportunities.
Hon. Bulus Vincent Venman remains focused on his mandate and will not be distracted by baseless accusations. He urges all stakeholders to prioritize the interests of the people and the growth of the APC, ensuring that Langtang North and South continue to receive the developmental attention they deserve.
