Dissolved Benue APC exco drags Ganduje to Court

The Augustine Agada-led executive in Benue State which was dissolved on Wednesday by the Abdullahi Ganduje-led National Working Committee (NWC) has dragged the latter to court for disobedience of the Court order.

Checks revealed that a High Court had on Wednesday restrained the party from dissolving the Agada leadership in Benue State and allowing it to serve its four-year tenure.

The dissolved Benue exco also prayed the court to issue a punitive measure against the Ganduje-led NWC over the disobedience of the earlier decision of the court.

Agada, in an affidavit deposed to by his counsel M.T Aiyebo, insisted that the Ganduje-led NWC was duly served the order of the court on Wednesday at about 4 pm.

He added that the service of the order restraining the APC under Ganduje was also served at the office of the National Legal Adviser at 4.02 pm on Wednesday at the party’s national secretariat.

Agada, in the affidavit, expressed surprise that in the evening of Wednesday, 21st August 2024, at 6 pm, Ganduje-led NWC held a meeting where he went ahead to dissolve his executive committee and appointed a caretaker committee against the earlier court order.

“That I saw on several Television stations that same evening about 8 pm and several other news media that the Benue State Working Committee of the respondent on record has been dissolved by the Respondent against whom the leave of this honourable court is being sought.”
