The All Progressives Congress Secretariat in Makurdi, Benue State capital, has been sealed off for the fourth time by police and youth protesters, heightening tensions within the party.
The closure occurred ahead of a scheduled meeting by the State Working Committee led by Comrade Austin Agada.
Another caucus meeting, organized by the Benjamin Omakolo-led faction of the APC State Working Committee, was also planned for Thursday in Makurdi. Both meetings aim to finalize preparations for the upcoming Local Government elections in the state, scheduled for October 5th by the Benue State Independent Electoral Commission.
An APC member, speaking anonymously, expressed concern over the situation, saying: “This ongoing feud is damaging our party’s image and could have serious consequences as we approach the elections.”
The member described the situation as “deeply concerning” and emphasized the need for resolution to avoid further damage to the party’s reputation.
