There are strong indications that political activities within Benue State may be entering a new phase following a directive issued by the camp of Hon. Chief Dr. Philip Agbese, popularly known as Okanga 1 of Agila.
In a brief but strongly worded internal communication made available to supporters, the federal lawmaker, widely addressed as “The Enone Servant,” ordered an immediate withdrawal of all supporters and media aides from social media engagements until further notice.
According to the directive, all online political activities including posts, comments, debates, and reactions have been suspended as the camp begins what it described as a “thorough assessment of the situation on ground across all political parties in the state.”
The statement emphasized that strict discipline and full cooperation are expected from all loyalists during the period of silence.
Political observers believe the development may not be unconnected to the growing political realignments and strategic consultations currently taking place ahead of future political battles in Benue State.
The announcement has already sparked discussions across the Enone political bloc, with many supporters interpreting the move as a sign of deeper consultations and possible strategic repositioning by the camp of the lawmaker.
Hon. Agbese, who represents the Ado/Okpokwu/Ogbadibo Federal Constituency, has remained one of the most influential political figures in Benue South in recent years, commanding strong grassroots support across the Enone axis.
While no timeline was given for the suspension of online activities, insiders say the directive is expected to remain in force pending the outcome of ongoing political assessments and consultations.
Supporters have meanwhile been urged to remain calm, loyal, and disciplined as events continue to unfold within the state’s political environment. See less
