Amidst ongoing tensions within the Benue State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the party’s State Executive Committee ratified the appointment of Benjamin Omakolo as acting chairman late on Wednesday night.
The meeting, held at the government house and led by Governor Hyacinth Alia, lasted until 10:45 pm, highlighting the urgency surrounding the decision. It comes after the suspension of former chairman Austin Agada by his ward executive in Ihaje.
The governor stated that the situation became necessary following the court order which restrained the suspended chairman from parading himself as party chair.
