The leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Benue South Senatorial District, Alhaji Usman Abubakar Danmaishannu, aka Young Alhaji, has written to the leader of the party in the state, Sen. George Akume, over the "raging crises bedeviling" the party in Benue South.

Danmaishannu in a letter dated 12 July, 2022, explained that, as the leader of the party in Zone C, he has been holding several meetings to keep the party alive, including the one held at his GRA residence in Otukpo on the 8th July, 2022, with the aim of deliberating on the issue of deputy governorship nomination.

He said the stakeholders deliberated thoroughly and collectively zoned the Deputy Governorship slot to Apa/Agatu Federal Constituency for the "sake of equity and fairness".

He said a 13-man committee was set up to issue a communique to that effect and forwarded same to him, the state leader, Sen. Akume, and other stakeholders.

Danmaishannu said unknown to him, some party elders from Benue South led by Sen. Ameh Ebute, and Barr. John Ochoga, held a "clandestine meeting" in Abuja on the 8th of July, 2022, and "tailored" a list of deputy governorship nominees; Egnr. Michael Ogbleba (Otukpo L.G.A), Alh. Yusuf Suleiman Elaigwu (Apa L.G.A) and Hon. Bernard Ochepa (Ado L.G.A), and submitted the list to the governorship candidate of the party, Rev. Fr. Dr. Hyacinth Alia for consideration and also sent copies to the leader of the party in the state, H.E Sen. Dr. George Akume, and the state Secretary of the party.

Describing the elders as "political pirates", Young Alhaji maintained that the move was motivated by "selfish and greedy ambition".

He said: "As the leader of the party in the zone, it is high time to call a spade a spade and enough is enough. I therefore advise the state leadership of the party to bring these political pirates to order. Exemplary of their mischief was their letter dated 8th July, 2022 and signed by Sen. Ameh Ebute."

Danmaishannu added that "APC victory in Benue South in the forthcoming general elections 2023 seem bleak, if urgent steps, almost radical ones are not taken to address the issues mentioned above."

Oga leave that talk!

If the two major party's zone their ticket to benue south, just like rivers state did, the idoma's will produce the next governor,
Tiv people no want just release power,
Other states are zoning according to senatorial zone, they are zoning it according to their Tiv clans, Sankara, Minda, jechira and the rest

Maybe igede people are not serious, that's why they couldn't produce the senator for benue south!
Oyine without zoning there is no way an idoma man with 7 LGA can defeat a Tiv man with 14 LGA, in a free and fair election,
It's a game of number, and Tiv' has the advantage,
Let them zone it to zone C let's see if Idoma will not rule
