He said that despite the lack of any form of
communication by the governor, the National
Headquarters of the party has taken a proactive
measure to intervene.

governor said he was given a red card. So we
have already taken proactive steps.

the Governor and other interested parties from
Benue State with the aim of resolving the
matter,” he said.

would work round the clock towards ensuring
that they win all elective positions in the zone in

vote for the president again in 2019 for a better
country.
