A Benue State High Court has ordered the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) not to remove the chairman of the state chapter, Hon. Augustine Agada.
A copy of the order via an exparte order granted by Justice Theresa Igoche in motion no MH /1585m/2024, was made available to journalists on Wednesday at the APC national secretariat in Abuja.
The court particularly directed the Abdullahi Ganduje-led National Working Committee (NWC) not to remove the Austin Agada-led State Working Committee until the expiration of their four-year tenure.
The Benue state chapter of the APC is split along the lines of Governor Hyacinth Alia who is in support of the Benjamin Omakolo-led faction, and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation in support of the Agada-led working committee of the party.
The Judge while granting the exparte application by Agada and eight others, restrained APC, either by itself, its privies, assigns, staff, officers, servants, agents, representatives, or whomsoever, howsoever described, from removing, changing replacing or howsoever terminating his tenure and other members of the Benue State Working Committee of the Respondent until the expiration of their four-year term in office pending the determination of the motion on notice.
