Party leadership to meet Alia, Akume loyalists today

The National Working Committee of the ruling All Progressives Congress will today meet with Benue senators, House of Representatives members, and stakeholders of the party in the state to resolve the lingering feud between loyalists of Governor Hyacinth Alia and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume

For over a year, the Benue chapter of the APC has been balkanised and embroiled in crisis by political gladiators fighting for control of the party.

While Austin Agada led the Akume’s faction of the party, Benjamin Omakolo was in charge of the Alia faction.

The National Deputy Organising Secretary of the APC, Nze Chidi Duru, disclosed on Monday in an interview that the party leadership would meet with many of the aggrieved members and relevant stakeholders at the national headquarters of the APC on Tuesday.

He said, “I don’t know about that (sanctions). The party has not discussed anything about them. But I know we are having a meeting with the stakeholders of Benue tomorrow. In particular, we will be meeting with senators and House of Reps members from the state by 10 am.

“After that, there will be a meeting with the (newly installed) Benue APC caretaker committee that was put in place. The second meeting will be at 2 pm at the party secretariat in Abuja.

“As earlier said, I am not aware of this issue you raised. I only know we are having a meeting to discuss with Benue APC stakeholders on Tuesday.”

The political crisis in Benue APC took another dimension last Wednesday when the NWC announced the dissolution of the Agada-led executives loyal to Akume.

In its place, the ruling party immediately inaugurated a seven-man caretaker committee to take over the party affairs at the state level for six months.
