The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Agatu Local Government Area, Benue State, has officially acknowledged and accepted the decision of the Local Government Election Tribunal, which nullified the election of Melvin Ejeh and declared Napoleon Otache as the duly elected Chairman of Agatu LGA.
Tribunal Judgment Reaffirms Democratic Integrity
In a public statement issued by Hon. Saidu Abibu, the APC chairman of Agatu LGA, the party extended heartfelt congratulations to Hon. Otache. The party hailed the tribunal’s ruling as a victory for democracy, transparency, and the rule of law.
“This landmark judgment is a triumph for the people of Agatu. It reinforces our trust in the judiciary as the cornerstone of democratic justice and the defender of the common man,” the statement read.
This internal reshuffle follows weeks of legal battle after it was discovered that Otache’s name was unlawfully excluded from the ballot by the Benue State Independent Electoral Commission (BSIEC), despite being the legitimate APC candidate.
APC Expresses Confidence in Otache’s Leadership
The APC leadership expressed strong faith in Otache’s leadership abilities, stating that his tenure will bring sustainable development, inclusive governance, and transparent administration to the people of Agatu.
They emphasized the need for unity and support across political divides to enable the new chairman to succeed in his mission to uplift the local government.
