The All Progressives Congress, APC, National Assembly caucus in Benue State has debunked claims that there are two factions of the party in the state.
DAILY POST reports that the state level of the ruling party has been in chaos following the face-off between the state Governor, Hyacinth Alia and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume. Alia and Akume, his predecessor, are battling for the leadership of the party structure in the state. But the caucus in a statement issued on Monday by Hon Philip Agbese, the joint spokesman of the NASS , said Benue APC has no faction.
The lawmakers reckoned that as long as the party's constitution and National Working Committee, NWC, were concerned, Austin Agada who was earlier sacked by his ward, remained the state chairman. Agbese also wondered why Governor Alia who has barely spent one year in office wants to be equated with a man who has been governor for eight years, Senator for 12 years, Minister for four years and currently the SGF.
