Benue APC crisis worsens as the party’s chairman returns a car gift

Then, Dickson Akoh, a party chieftain and Commandant General of the Nigeria Peace Corps, decided to retrieve the Jeep he had given to the state party chairman, Chief Abba Yaro, three years ago, as part of the party’s crisis of confidence in Benue State.
The state chairman, according to reports, has returned the Toyota Sequoia Jeep that the Peace Corps chief gave him as a gift three years ago after being asked by Akoh.
The relationship between the state party chair­man and the party chieftain had been cordial until after the last APC Ward Congress, which was said to have irritated Akor, whose candidates had lost in the state, particularly in his Senatorial District of Benue South.
On Thursday in Makurdi, Benue’s capital, the state party chairman presented the Sports Utility Vehicle SUV to the Nigerian Police Area Commander.

On August 18, 2021, Akor wrote to the Area Commander of the Nigeria Police Force for Makurdi Metropolis, through his solicitors, Sule Abakpa & Co., requesting “police escort for the return of Professor Dickson Akoh’s Toyota Sequoia Jeep from Comrade Abba Yaro.”
The car was not given to Comrade Yaro as a gift, according to the Peace Corps CG, but rather to allow the party chairman to move around.
