The National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress has directed members who filed court cases in the name of the party to withdraw them within seven days or face sanctions.
The warning is coming on the heel of an alleged cold war between the camp of the state governor, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia; and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume.
The APC NWC in a statement released on Thursday by its National Secretary, Ajibola Basiru, said the decision was reached at the 146th meeting of the committee in Abuja.
The statement said the NWC resolved : “That all ongoing cases filed in the name of the party or associated with matters concerning the Party and involving party members must be discontinued and withdrawn from the courts within the next seven days.
“That failure to comply with this resolution will result in disciplinary action being taken against any member responsible for such suits, including immediate suspension and ultimately expulsion from the party.
“That it is crucial that all members of the APC, Benue State chapter adhere to this directive promptly.
“The unity and integrity of our party must be upheld, and resolving legal matters internally is paramount to maintaining the cohesion and focus of the APC”.
