Benue APC Chairman, Abba Yaro risk Suspension – Obande

A Chieftain of the All Progressives  Congress APC Hon John Obande has called on the Benue State Chairman of the party, Abba Yaro to immediately resign or face immediate suspension.

He said Yaro has lost confidence of members long before the 2019 general elections where he was the informant to the PDP, thereby selling the election for peanuts.

In a statement, Hon. John Obande said: ”His reckless statement on Comrade Okpokwu Ogenyi, a Co-convener, Concerned APC Members (CAM), our Leader, who is rebuilding the Party is criminal and should be disregarded.

”We shall ensure Abba Yaro’s suspension from his ward beginning from Monday, 9th November, 2020.”

Abba Yaro had issued an ultimatum to Comrade Okpokwu Ogenyi to withdraw his statement on the APC Caretaker Committee in which he warned of consequences should refuse to withdraw those allegations within 24 hours, or face disciplinary action.

Obande, a Chieftain of the Party in Benue South insists that, Abba Yaro is only playing a script to siphon money from the Caretaker Committee because he lacks the moral standing to recommend any disciplinary action against a senior member of the Party like Comrade Okpokwu Ogenyi who was due to win the Governorship Primary election in 2019 before Sen. George Akume forced him to step down.

Obande said, Abba Yaro has no right to call on Comrade Okpokwu to withdraw his statement, he would be mentally sick to think that such a genuine movement for the soul of our Party will be thrown into the dustbin.

”Is the mandate of the caretaker committee not to reconcile members, organise Convention and hand over So, what is the rubbish Abba Yaro is saying or is he begging for food or recognition?

Already, there are series of petitions against the State Chairman ranging from abuse of office, financial misappropriation, lack of capacity and anti-Party activities since 2015.
