But the highest administrative organ of the party in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka on Wednesday night in Abuja said Agada remains the chairman of the party in Benue State.
The statement reads: “The attention of the National Leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to media reports of the purported suspension of the Party’s Chairman in Benue State, Mr Augustine Agada, by Party executives in his Ehaje Ward 1, Owukpa, Ogbadibo Local Government Area of the state.
“The party has directed that the said suspension and all related actions in the matter be, and are hereby, set aside pending further review and decision of the Party’s National Working Committee (NWC) on the matter.
“Therefore, Mr Augustine Agada remains a bonafide member, and the Chairman of the Benue State Chapter, of our party.”
