As the political landscape intensifies in Benue State, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, is advocating for unity within the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of crucial presidential primaries. His call comes on the heels of reported divisions and alleged irregularities in the recent internal contests, raising alarms about the party's cohesion.
Akume expressed concern over allegations of the diversion of electoral materials, a situation he believes threatens the integrity of the party's processes. "Unity is our strength; we cannot afford to be divided as we approach the presidential primaries," he emphasized, underscoring the imperative for party members to rally together for a successful campaign. This plea for solidarity follows weeks of tension within the party, where factions have emerged, complicating the path to a unified electoral strategy.
Looking ahead, the APC must address these internal rifts to present a formidable front in the upcoming elections. Without swift resolution and a commitment to collaboration among its members, the party risks undermining its chances of maintaining power, both in Benue and nationally. The stakes are high, and the need for unity has never been more critical.
