The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Benue State South has described as spurious, unfounded and malicious allegations made against the party Chairman Comrade Austin Agada.
It would be noted that a former Senatorial candidate Daniel Onjeh in a petition which was addressed to the President and National Chairman, APC dated January 27,2024 accused Agada of anti-party activities during the 2023 Senatorial election in Benue South district which led to his lost.
He alleged that Agada doctored the list of agents and was financially induced by the opposition PDP candidate and now Senate Minority Leader Senate Abba Moro to win the election.
Responding in a rejoinder made available to Peoples’ Daily on Monday and signed by Bishop Pinot Ogbaji APC Zonal Chairman, Zone C, Hon. Adah Ochojila Ag. State Secretary APC Benue State Chapter, Alhaji Muhammed Hassan State Treasurer APC Benue State, Benjamin Omakolo State welfare Officer
