Benue Politics

Written by olagideon

The Igede Youth in
Politics (IYP) have warned the Benue
state chairman of the Peoples'
Democratic Party (PDP), Dr Emmanuel
Agbo to desist from meddling in the
local politics of the Igede nation.
The group alleged that Agbo was
interfering in their local politics under
the guise of settling political quarrels
even though there was none in the area.
In a press statement signed by Amogo
Oleju and Ode Ikpe, president and
secretary respectively, the youths
berated the chairman and urged him to
first put his home local government,
Okpokwu in order before venturing to
poke into the affair of Igede people.
The group added that Agbo actions
amounted to seeking cheap popularity
using the residence of late political big
wig, Ogiri Ajene to hold meetings with a
few unknown politicians in the locality.
While also frowning at the anti-party
activities of the said suspected
politicians, the youths pledged to remain
united and focused in the political
development of Igede land in the Benue
south senatorial district.
