Insinuations are rife that chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Benue State, Abba Yaro, would be replaced over alleged anti-party activities. The Guardian gathered from staunch party members in the state that the chairman had abandoned the party’s governorship candidate, even as the party’s case was still at the Supreme Court. But Yaro has denied all the allegations, describing the plot as cheap blackmail from his political rivals who were all out to tarnish his image.“I am not in any way working against the interest of the party,” Yaro stated. Everybody knows my principle and integrity as the APC chairman. Health is very important, even the leader of the party is very much aware that I went for medical attention.
