News reaching TheNigerian News is that political activist, Comrade Austin Agada, has been confirmed as the consensus chairmanship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Benue State.
The decision was reached today at a top level meeting convened by APC Zone C leader, Alhaji Usman Abubakar who is also from Ogbadibo Local Government with top leaders and stakeholders of the party from Ogbadibo Local
Government at his Otukpo mansion.
Recall that the APC’s most coveted position in the state was zoned to Ogbadibo LGA by the Chief John A. A. Ochoga led Special Zoning/Harmonisation Committee for Zone C.
Agada will thus become one of the youngest state chairmen of a major political party in the country.
His popularity is believed to cut across the three major ethnic groups of Tiv, Idoma and Igede and commands respect among his peers and elders.
Agada will take over from Comrade Abba Yaro after the party’s State Congress on the 2nd of October, 2021.
