Thursday, August 22, 2024 -Benue State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has said the purported dissolution of the State Working Committee, SWC, of the party is illegal, unlawful and unconstitutional.
This was contained in a statement on Thursday by the Publicity Secretary
of the party, Mr Daniel Ihomum.
Ihomum said, “We are constrained to react to a purported dissolution of
the Benue State Working Committee by the National Working Committee of our
great party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, yesterday 21 August, 2024.
“Our esteemed members of the APC in Benue State are advised to disregard
this purported dissolution because same is illegal, unlawful and
unconstitutional as there is a subsisting court order issued by Honourable
Justice T.A Igoche of the Benue State High Court, Makurdi, restraining the
National Working Committee or any other organ of the All Progressives Congress
from removing, changing, replacing, dissolving or terminating the tenure of the
Benue State Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) until the
expiration of its four-year tenure of office pending the determination of the
motion on Notice.
“It is illegal, unlawful and unconstitutional of the National Working
Committee to purportedly remove, dissolve or replace a democratically elected
State Working Committee whose tenure is subsisting as in this case, more also
where there is a valid court order which was duly served on the National
Working Committee. It will not stand!
“We urge all our party members and party faithful to disregard the said
purported dissolution as neither the NWC nor the NEC is immune from obeying the
order of a competent court of law.
“Members of the party are reminded that the Local Government Primary
Election scheduled for Saturday, 24th August, will go ahead as planned.”
