Benue APC crisis: Agbese apologises to Austin Agada

Chief Philip Agbese, the All Progressives Congress’ candidate for Ado/Ogbadigbo/Okpokwu Federal Constituency in Benue State, has apologised to the State Working Committee of the party led by Austin Agada.

Speaking while playing host to a support group in Abuja on Wednesday, Agbese laughed off the alleged cold war between him and Agada, describing the Benue APC boss as his “leader” and “brother”.

He went further to disown some of the insinuations peddled in the media that he has no confidence in the State Working Committee as the figment of the wildest imaginations of people still suffering from the emergence of Alia, knowing well that the “APC has made a right choice and will win the 2023 general elections by a landslide”.

He, therefore, apologised to the Agada-led working committee over the interview which he said was wholly misrepresented and misinterpreted.

“As one of the few Reps aspirants who visited the party secretariat before my emergence as the standard flagbearer, I couldn’t have attacked the leadership of the party using the words that I was quoted with at any point in time,“ he said.

Agbese further charged the leadership of the groups to appreciate the APC in Benue State under Comrade Agada by extending their total loyalty to the party as the supreme authority.
