A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom State, Chief Edet Ben, has denied involvement in the alleged suspension of Mr. Eseme Eyiboh, Special Adviser to the Senate President on Media and Publicity, from the party in Ward 9, Esit Eket Local Government Area.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Ben, who serves as an Ex-Officio member of the party in Ward 9, threatened legal action against those behind what he described as the forgery of his name and signature on documents claiming Eyiboh’s suspension.

In a sworn court affidavit, Ben described the purported suspension process as fraudulent and non-existent.

He stated that no meeting was held on April 22 to discuss or approve any disciplinary measures against Eyiboh or any other party member, adding that he neither attended nor endorsed such proceedings.

Ben also alleged that his name and signature were falsely inserted into an attendance list linked to the alleged suspension exercise.

He subsequently disowned both the attendance document and the suspension letter reportedly sent to APC leadership at the chapter and state levels.

In his notice, Ben demanded the immediate removal of his name from the documents, a public retraction, and an end to any unauthorised use of his identity.

He warned that failure to comply within 24 hours would result in legal action.

The controversy follows an announcement by a faction within the ward claiming Eyiboh had been suspended over alleged anti-party activities.

Meanwhile, a grassroots political group, Ward Nine New Era (WNNE), has strongly condemned the move, describing it as malicious, baseless, and invalid.

The group argued that the action appeared targeted at a key political figure who had recently mobilised grassroots support for major APC leaders, including President Bola Tinubu, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and Governor Umo Eno.

WNNE also questioned the legitimacy of the ward executives behind the move and insisted that due process was not followed.

The group urged party members and the public to disregard the suspension, maintaining that it lacked credibility and legal standing.

Former Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI), Prof. Mohammed Sani Haruna, who is also an All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant in Nasarawa State, has outlined his vision for the North-Central state.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Speaking at a mega rally held at the Keffi headquarters of the Nasarawa West Senatorial Zone, Haruna told supporters that he would “govern with the fear of God” if elected.

The event attracted hundreds of youths, women, and various political groups who gathered in support of his governorship ambition.

He also informed party members of his intention to purchase the expression of interest and nomination forms ahead of the APC governorship primaries scheduled for May 21.

According to him, his experience and achievements at NASENI, which span across Nasarawa State and other parts of the country, have adequately prepared him for the responsibilities of leadership.

Haruna pledged to run a transparent administration and ensure prudent management of resources for the benefit of all citizens.

“I’m going ahead to purchase the nomination form and will participate in the governorship primaries. You can be rest assured of a transparent administration, judicious use of resources, and protection of public trust,” he said.

He also urged supporters to remain peaceful, law-abiding, and united, stressing that progress can only be achieved in an atmosphere of harmony and stability.

According to him, the developments and investments recorded during his tenure at NASENI have contributed to both human and infrastructural growth, not only in Nasarawa State but across the country.

Haruna pledged to build on the foundations laid by past and present governors of the state, including Abdullahi Adamu, the late Aliyu Akwe Doma, Senator Umaru Tanko Al-Makura, and incumbent Governor Abdullahi Sule.

He commended ongoing efforts in industrialisation and infrastructure development under Governor Sule, noting that such continuity is vital for sustained progress.

The aspirant also promised inclusive governance that embraces all ethnic and religious groups to promote unity and development in the state.

Haruna further called on residents to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, crediting him for playing a significant role in his career progression at NASENI even before becoming president.
