APC Leaders Demand Sanctions Against Austin Agada in 2026
On October 2, 2026, a faction of All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders submitted a petition to the party's National Working Committee (NWC) seeking sanctions against former Benue State Chairman Austin Agada. The petition alleges Agada's involvement in the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory’s 2027 Strategic Alliance, known as the Rainbow Coalition, and his public endorsements of candidates from other parties, including PDP Senator Abba Moro.
Agada reportedly stated he would not campaign for the APC gubernatorial candidate in Benue State, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia. The petitioners, led by National Organising Secretary Alhaji Sa’idu Muhammad, requested an investigative panel to probe Agada's actions and called for any sanctions to be made public.
They emphasized that Agada's actions contradict the APC's collective stance communicated through the Progressive Governors’ Forum and the party's state chapters. The group expressed concerns about Agada's loyalty and compliance with party obligations.
