Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress in the Benue South Senatorial District on Sunday rejected the imposition of an aide to Senator George Akume, the Minister of Special Duties and Inter-governmental Affairs, as party chairman on them.
The stakeholders insisted that the zoning of the chairmanship position to Ogbadibo Local Government Area was unacceptable. “After extensive consultations with the various representatives from the nine local government areas and the observers at the meeting, a consensus was reached that the state’s chairmanship position of the party be zoned to Apa/Agatu."
They also called on Akume, the party leader in Benue, to display equity and fairness by putting the party together at the state level before doing so at the national level. “Hence, if Senator Akume desires the support of the Benue South people, he should fix the party in the state, and reposition it to win the 2023 gubernatorial election and other sensitive elective positions.
