The national leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has set aside the purported suspension of the Benue state APC Chairman, Augustine Agada.
TheHintsNews reports that Agada was purportedly suspended by by party executives in Ehaje Ward 1, Owukpa, Ogbadibo Local Government Area of the state.
However, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Felix Morka, in a statement issued Wednesday said Agada remained the party chairman in the state.
He noted that his suspension was set aside pending further review and decision of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) on the matter.
Morka noted: “The attention of the National Leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to media reports of the purported suspension of the party’s Chairman in Benue State, Mr Augustine Agada, by Party executives in his Ehaje Ward 1, Owukpa, Ogbadibo Local Government Area of the state.
“The party has directed that the said suspension and all related actions in the matter be, and are hereby, set aside pending further review and decision of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) on the matter.
“Therefore, Mr Augustine Agada remains a bonafide member, and the Chairman of the Benue State Chapter, of our party.”
