The APC youth leaders also used the opportunity to urge those beating the drums for a parallel executive when another Congress had not been held, to decease forthwith, saying, such crisis mongers would also sabotage the good works of the Tinubu-led federal government in Benue State.

“Additionally, the APC Youth leadership calls on individuals, such as Comr. Daniel Onjeh, Benjamin Omakolo and their associates, to cease creating crises in the zone, emphasizing the need for unity to fully harness the democratic gains achieved as a people.

“The collective achievements in Benue South Zone C, including the appointment of three Permanent Secretaries, the Acting Controller of the Nigerian Agricultural Quarantine Agency, Executive Secretary of TETFUND, and a Federal Commissioner of the National Population Commission, are commendable milestones. The ongoing construction of the Makurdi-Otukpo-Enugu-9th Mile road further attests to the positive strides in the zone.

“In conclusion, the APC Youth leaders in benue South zone c under my leadership as the zonal youth leader extends a vote of confidence to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR for his role in fostering development, and to Senator Dr. George Akume for providing exemplary leadership in the state.

It would be recalled that the Benue APC has been ridden with crisis lately, with Governor Hyacinth Alia announcing Mr. Omakolo as an acting state Chairman of the party, despite the State High Court’s ruling by the state Chief Judge that Comrade Agada’s state executive remains intact.

Both Agada and Omakolo are from the Benue South Senatorial district of the state.
