Court sacks Benue APC caretaker committee
A Makurdi High Court presided by Justice T A Kume on Thursday nullified the seven man caretaker committee of the Benue State All Progressives Congress, APC.
The development followed a suit initiated by the state chairman of the APC, Comrade Austin Agada, challenging the dissolution of the State Working Committee, SWC, of the party by the National Working Committee, NWC.
Justice T. A. Kume in his ruling held that the purported dissolution of the EXCO was not in accordance with the Constitution of the party, noting that the action of the NWC equally amounted to gross violation of the applicants’ right to fair hearing.
He stated: “Even in the Garden of Eden, God exemplified the importance of fair hearing by asking questions before taking action against Adam.
“In stark contrast, the National Working Committee denied Agada a fair hearing. It begs the question: Shouldn’t the Committee, as mortal beings, strive to uphold the same standards of justice and fairness demonstrated by God?”
Consequentially, the court held that all actions carried out by the caretaker committee appointed by the national secretariat of APC to act in place of the Austin Agada-led State Working Committee amounted to nullity.
