We’ve uncovered plot to protest against Tinubu, Senate President, SGF – Benue APC alleges

From Uche Nnorom, Makurdi

The crisis rocking the All Progressive Congress in Benue State has continued to heightened as the party said it has uncovered plots by some unscrupulous officials of the Benue State Government to sponsor a large scale protest against the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu in an effort to discourage him from giving effect to the Senate’s resolution stopping release of funds to local government caretaker committees in Nigeria.
According to a statement signed by the APC State Publicity Secretary Daniel Ihomun said the protest is also alleged to be targeting the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, who presided over the Senate plenary that passed the resolution and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Sen. Dr George Akume, the Leader of APC in Benue, who has become a victim of malicious accusations in the State by mischief makers.
Ihomun maintained that the plot has been deeply hatched and their first experimental step was the call on the Party Chairman in the State, Comrade Austin Agada to resign without advancing any genuine reason.
“The party views this act of sabotage as portending grave danger to the unity of the state and the party, if people who claim APC membership and are working under an APC state government would undermine their President, the Senate President and the SGF in an open protest in their quest to stifle the hands of government on a matter of law.
“Much as the organizers are free to express themselves, taking steps that would embarrass Mr. President and his administration is unacceptable and must be halted.
“The party therefore calls on the Inspector General of Police and the Benue State Commissioner of Police to monitor closely this planned protest which may wear a semblance of solidarity march but with a sinister end motive.”
