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.
