The Benue State Acting Chairman of the APC Benjamin Omakolo who gave the order in a statement signed by the party’s publicity secretary Terseer Agber, in Makurdi, while reacting to a purported zoning arrangement released by the Austin Agada,led former EXCO, informed members of the party that no such committee have been constituted by the state executive council under his watch.
Omakolo the statement said the state executive council,SEC, of the APC in Benue State would ordinarily have ignored or rejected what it described as actions of a disgruntled group of Party members if not for setting the records straight.
According to the statement “The attention of the Benue State Executive Council,SEC, of our great party, the All Progressives Congress APC, has been drawn to a purported release in which some names have been listed as members of a zoning committee for the forthcoming 2024 local government elections in the state.
The APC chairman wished to inform all loyal members and the general public that no committee of any kind has been formed by the SEC of the APC which he is the chairman.
Omakolo according to the statement, called on all party members and the general public to disregard any release not endorsed by him or the state publicity secretary of the party,Terseer Agber.
