APC Leaders Seek Suspension of Ex-Chairman Agada for Misconduct

Leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have submitted a petition to the National Working Committee (NWC) demanding the suspension of former Benue State party Chairman Austin Agada. The petition, dated 28th September, 2026, accuses Agada of engaging in anti-party activities by fraternizing with the Rainbow Coalition, a support group for Minister of Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike, which is backing candidates against the APC.

The petition, signed by Sa’idu Muhammad, the National Organising Secretary of the APC Solidarity Group, claims Agada endorsed Senator Abba Moro of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and publicly stated he would not campaign for the APC gubernatorial candidate, Fr. Hyacinth Alia. The group has called for an investigative committee to examine Agada's actions and potentially discipline him, citing his conduct as detrimental to the party's interests and contrary to the positions of APC governors.
