***As Forum of APC State Chairmen officially admits Omale as Benue APC chairman
The Forum of APC State Chairmen across the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory today in Abuja admitted the Chairman, Benue APC Caretaker Committee, Chief Benjamin Omale into their membership, ending the era of impersonation by the dissolved Chairman, Austin Agada.
This followed a formal presentation of Chief Omale to the Forum by the National Chairman, His Excellency, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje as the only recognized APC Chairman in Benue State.
The National Chairman while presenting Chief Omale to his colleagues insisted that the National Secretariat acted in line with Article 13.3(B) of the APC Constitution in dissolving the Benue exco and APC cannot continue to go back and forth on the matter.
Also speaking at the meeting, Deputy National Chairman(North) of the All Progressives Congress, Alh. Bukka Dalori commended Chief Benjamin Omale and members of the Caretaker Committee in Benue for demonstrating exemplary leadership and exercising their mandate credibly.
Other members of the National Working Committee also congratulated Chief Omale for stabilizing the party in Benue state and urged him to continue the good works.
Chief Omale later proceeded to Barcelona Hotels where he was happily welcomed by the Chairman, Forum of APC State Chairmen, Hon. Cornelius Ojelabi who is the APC Chairman, Lagos State. With this development, Chief Benjamin Omale will represent Benue at the APC NEC meeting holding in Abuja tomorrow without undue interference.
While speaking to Nigerian Concord reporter in Abuja, Omale thanked the Ganduje-led National Working Committee for their supports. He also appreciated the governor of Benue state, Reverend Father Hyacinth Alia for his continuous supports to the Benue APC Unity Caretaker Committee.
He however called for more supports for President Bola Tinubu and Governor Hyacinth Alia in their quests to deliver their campaign promises to the people.
