The North Central Integrity Forum has issued a stern warning to the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, urging him to refrain from taking sides in the ongoing crisis within the Benue State chapter of the party.
In a strongly worded statement, the Chairman of the North Central Integrity From, Mr Joseph Maiwada expressed his displeasure over Ganduje’s alleged partiality, advising him to step down from his position if he cannot remain neutral in resolving the issues plaguing the APC in Benue State.
“We, the members of the North Central Integrity Forum, are deeply concerned about the unfolding events in Benue State. It has come to our attention that Dr. Ganduje may be taking sides in the crisis rocking the state’s APC. We advise him to resign if he cannot handle the matter impartially, Maiwada added.
Maiwada further emphasized his unwavering support for Senator George Akume, describing him as a “beloved leader” whose integrity and leadership in the region are beyond reproach.
He warned that the North Central Integrity Forum would not tolerate any actions or decisions that could undermine Senator Akume or the interests of the North Central region.
“We will not tolerate anything or be part of any action that goes against our beloved leader, Senator George Akume. The North Central region deserves fair and just leadership, and we will stand firm to ensure that our interests are protected,” he added.
The crisis within the Benue State APC has escalated in recent weeks, with factions within the party at odds over leadership and direction.
The North Central Integrity Forum statement adds to the growing pressure on the APC’s national leadership to address the issues in Benue State with fairness and objectivity.
