Ms Nancy Torher, All Progressives Congress (APC), Women Leader in Benue, has appealed to the party’s National Working Committee (NWC), to help restore sanity to her state chapter.
Torher made the appeal in Abuja when she led Women Leaders in Benue’s 23 Local Governments and three Senatorial Zones, on a protest to the party’s national secretariat.
Torher, while speaking with newsmen after submitting a petition to the party’s national leadership, said that there was a need for it to address issues of impostors.
“This has become necessary because suspended officials of the party in Benue, are still parading themselves as officials.
“It is particularly unfortunate that some of the party’s national executives are associating with such impostors in spite of their suspension from the party.”
She accused the APC National Women Leader, Dr Mary Idele, of associating with an impostor who parades herself as Benue APC women leader.
This, Torher said, is a violation of the decision of the party’s NWC which suspended the Austin Agada-led Benue APC executive.
“The APC national women leader, as a member of its NWC, is aware of this decision and suspension and she is expected to adhere to it,” she said.
She said it was shocking to see the party’s national woman leader violating the NWC’s decision by inviting an impostor to an event “as Benue APC Women Leader”.
She added that Idele had also been recognising one Benjamin Omakolo as the state’s chairman.
“Allowing this breach of order to proceed will further deepen the APC’s intra-party crisis in Benue and could lead to the collapse of the party’s structure.
“It is critical for the party’s leadership to intervene in the matter by drawing the attention of Idele to the abnormality and ensuring that she aligns with its decision,” Torher declared.(NAN)
