Onjeh announced his decision in a video statement on Monday, citing what he described as irregularities and concerns over the conduct of the exercise.
He said the decision followed careful reflection on developments within the party’s primary process in Benue South.
The former senatorial candidate described the move as difficult but necessary, adding that recent events made his continued participation untenable.
Onjeh also reflected on his role in the formation and growth of the APC in the senatorial district, noting his grassroots mobilisation efforts during the early days of the party.
He said he moved across communities to campaign for the party and support its establishment at the local level.
According to him, despite years of commitment and loyalty, recent experiences have left him disappointed with how the process has unfolded.
“I humbly wish to announce my withdrawal from the Benue South Senatorial Primary due to the undemocratic conduct of the process,” he said.
