APC Dissolves Benue Executives, Names Caretaker
The Benue chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has experienced a new upheaval with the National Working Committee’s decision to dissolve the Austine Agada-led executives. On Wednesday, the NWC appointed a seven-man caretaker committee, led by Benjamin Omale and Prof. Bem Angwe as chairman and secretary, respectively. This move comes despite a recent Benue High Court order, issued by Justice Theresa Igoche, that barred the APC from removing Agada and his team until their four-year term ends.
The leadership change exacerbates ongoing conflicts within the Benue APC, notably between Governor Hyacinth Alia, who supports a rival faction led by Benjamin Omakolo, and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, who backs the Agada-led group. The NWC’s decision aims to stabilize the party amid internal strife and prevent further fragmentation. The newly appointed caretaker committee has been tasked with managing the party’s affairs for the next six months, focusing on reconciliation and unity within the state chapter.
The Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA) has alerted Nigerians residing in flood-prone areas to relocate, following the release of water from Cameroon’s Lagdo Dam into River Niger and River Benue.
The release, which began on September 18, 2024, poses flood risks to 11 states, including Adamawa, Kogi, Benue, and Bayelsa.
NIHSA urges individuals to clear drainages and avoid floodplains. This comes days after severe flooding in Borno killed over 30 people.
Israel admitted to initiating a “new era” of war after two consecutive days of explosive attacks targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon.
On Tuesday, pager explosions killed several, including children, and wounded over 2,800. A second wave on Wednesday, involving walkie-talkies and phones, killed at least 20 and injured 450.
One explosion occurred during a Hezbollah funeral, with reports suggesting Hezbollah’s elite Radwan unit was heavily impacted. Israel believes the death toll is higher than officially reported.
In a recent Instagram post, Nigerian entertainment figure Soso Soberekon advised women to focus on men with a clear vision and long-term plans instead of being swayed by physical attributes.
He highlighted that a big penis won’t raise children and encouraged women to seek meaningful relationships with partners who can build a future.
Soberekon’s message stirred a range of reactions online, sparking a lively conversation in the comments.
