“The North-Central APC Forum is asking President Bola Tinubu to watch the SGF, as his alliance with opposition leaders such as Chief Ortom can destabilize the APC in not only Benue but the entire North-Central,” the statement released by the group’s Chairman, Saleh Zazzaga warned.
Furthermore, the Forum accused Akume of prioritizing his personal interests over the development of Benue State and the North-Central zone.
“The North-Central APC Forum has lost confidence in Senator Akume, the SGF, as his unholy alliance with Chief Ortom shows that he does not care about the development of Benue State and the North-Central zone,” the Forum declared.
The APC Forum also warned that Akume’s alliance with Ortom could have far-reaching consequences for the party in the 2027 elections.
“The APC cannot afford to lose Benue State in 2027. We call on President Tinubu and other leaders of our great party to act fast to forestall the destabilization of the APC in the North-Central,” the Forum urged.
