The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress has sacked Benue state chairman of the party, Hon. Augustine Agada and other members of the State Working Committee (SWC).
The NWC-led by its National Chairman, Dr. Abdulahi Ganduje announced the dissolution of the state excoon Wednesday in Abuja.
In its place, the Ganduje inaugurated a-seven man caretaker committee at the party’s National Secretariat which would pilot the affairs of the party for six months.
The members of the Caretaker Committee are: Hon. Benjamin Omale (Chairman), Prof. Ben Angwe (Secretary), while Hon. Richard Mzungweve, Hon. James Omguga, Terhemen Ngbea, Helen Agaigbe, and Ali Adah would serve as members
TheHintsNews reports that the leadership of the party sacked the exco despite a Benue State High Court retraining the party from dissolving the Agada-led working committee.
Ganduje stated: “The problem we are having in the State, factions, counter-factions; litigations, counter-litigations. These, the National Working Committee will not allow that to continue.
“The party is an institution, you must be united. So in order to solve the problem, we followed our Constitution and therefore the National Working Committee has today dissolved the Executive Committee and at the same time the National Working Committee has approved the constitution of a seven-man Caretaker Committee to run the affairs of the party for the next six months.
“Also, since you are going for local government election, and the party is the only organ that can certify candidature of any contestant, therefore, you are saddled with the responsibility of conducting primaries for those who intend to become chairmen and councilors of their local government areas.
“We urge to unite, continue dialogue with major stakeholders so that we will bring all of you together so you work together.”
