Internal strife within the Benue State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has led to a mass resignation of party members, indicating growing discontent and division. Reports suggest that at least four prominent governorship candidates attended an expanded executive meeting of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the home of former Governor Samuel Ortom in Makurdi. This shift highlights the weakening grip of the APC in the region as aspirants like Mathias Buyan, Pius Akutah, Sabastine Hon, and Mike Aondoakaa seek alternative political alliances amidst the APC turmoil.

The Benue APC has been notably divided, with factions loyal to different leaders, most prominently the camp associated with George Akume, the current Secretary to the Government of the Federation. The attendance of these gubernatorial candidates at a PDP meeting suggests a potential for increased political realignment in the state as individuals increasingly disconnect from the APC. The situation may indicate a growing momentum for the PDP in Benue State, particularly with the upcoming gubernatorial elections looming.

This development represents a broader trend of discontent within the APC at both state and national levels, with resignations signaling fractures that could impact the party's performance in future elections. As more leaders appear poised to leave the party, the implications for political dynamics in Benue and potentially nationally are significant, affecting voter sentiments and party strategies as the election period approaches.
