APC Group Seeks Suspension of Austin Agada for Alleged Misconduct

The APC Solidarity Group, comprising chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has submitted a petition to the party's National Working Committee (NWC) calling for the suspension of former APC Chairman Austin Agada due to alleged anti-party conduct. The petition, dated October 2 and sent to Legit.ng on October 4, was signed by National Organising Secretary Alhaji Sa'idu Muhammad.

It accuses Agada of endorsing PDP Senator Abba Moro for a 2027 senatorial seat and printing campaign materials featuring both President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Moro. Additionally, Agada stated in a September 28 interview that he would not campaign for the APC's gubernatorial candidate in Benue State, Reverend Father Hyacinth Alia, contradicting the party's unified stance.

The group also criticized Agada's involvement in the Strategic Alliance for Tinubu 2027, which they claim undermines APC candidates. They urged the NWC to investigate Agada's actions under Article 21 of the APC Constitution, emphasizing the need for party loyalty ahead of the 2027 elections.
