North Central APC Forum rejects Ganduje’s dissolution of Benue executives

The North Central All Progressives Congress (APC) Forum on Saturday rejected the dissolution of Benue State executives of the party by the National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje.Describing the development as unacceptable, the Forum stressed that Ganduje has no legitimate reason to suspend the executive members of the party from Benue, which is under the North Central region that has remained opposed to his chairmanship position till date.The Forum’s Chairman, Alhaji Saleh Mandung Zazzaga, spoke to journalists in Jos, the Plateau State capital.Zazzaga who was also a member of the Presidential Campaign Council in the last election, said, “The same executive members Ganduje is illegitimately dissolving are the same we worked with at different levels to win the Benue State governorship and other key positions for the APC.“Besides, the North Central APC has from the onset been opposed to Ganduje being the national chairman of our party because according to the party arrangement, that position is supposed to be for the North Central region after Abdullahi Adamu’s resignation, and not Ganduje who is from the North West state of Kano.”He added that a High Court in Makurdi, Benue State, on Wednesday restrained Ganduje from dissolving the state executive led by led by Augustine Agada, but on that same day, the Ganduje-led NWC announced the dissolution of the state EXCO despite the court order.Accusing Ganduje of contempt of court, Zazzaga added, “Ganduje likes disobeying court orders and that is incurring legal liabilities for our party on many fronts, following the court case against him, including that of his ward in Kano State, the North Central APC, among other corruption matters when he served as Kano State Governor”He said the North Central APC will not accept the dissolution of the Benue executives of the party, adding that stakeholders from the region will take further action if the decision was not reversed.Zazzaga warned that Ganduje is destroying the APC, stressing that if nothing is done to stop him, he would destroy the party very soon.He emphasized the efforts of the North Central to the success of the APC since 2015, pointing out the region contributed to the victory of President Bola Tinubu in the 2023 election.In the same vein, he noted that the APC clinched five out of the six governorship elections in the region.
