“The national leadership of our great party is not unaware that there may be wrangling or grievances about the outcome of the local government Congresses,and that is why we are here to address them in a fair and just manner. We assure you that we will justify the confidence reposed in us by the national Secretariat.
“You have between today and tomorrow to submit your petitions and be assured that genuine complaints will be deservedly treated by us. Submit your petitions to us at the state Secretariat of the party where we will be operating from, ensuring that they are properly signed, with your names and phone numbers.”
Adabson added: “We are all members of the APC family, we are expected to behave as true progressives that we are, we don’t want anything that will give us, and of course the party, any setback.
“Above all, we should all know that the issue of leadership is something that rotates around, if one loses today, tomorrow is another day. Let is continue to endeavour to resolved our issues and differences amicably so that there will be peace within the party and among all party faithful.”
Welcoming the Appeal Committee members, the state Caretaker Chairman of the APC, Alhaji Abdullahi Samari Abubakar, who explained the mission of the Committee, urged members to continue to be peaceful and loyal to the party, saying there is no perfection in any human endeavour, including the local government Congresses recently concluded. He enjoined members to cooperate with the Committee to ensure speedy and successful completion of their work in the state.
Investigations by Nigerian Concord Newspaper reveal that the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers Council, Mr. Pius Akutah, has allegedly misappropriated public funds for a lavish lifestyle.
According to our findings, within months of assuming office, Akutah allegedly purchased a bulletproof SUV valued at approximately N850 million. In addition, he is reported to have acquired over twenty exotic SUVs for use as a convoy.
Akutah is also said to have acquired multiple high-value properties, including three in Abuja’s Maitama and Asokoro districts worth over N2 billion, and two in Lagos’ Banana Island valued at N1.8 billion. These acquisitions appear far beyond the scope of his official salary and allowances.
Further investigation suggests that Akutah may be using public funds to support political ambitions, including allegedly grooming militants across 23 local government areas in Benue State for a potential 2027 gubernatorial bid.
Staff of the Shippers Council reportedly claim that Akutah frequently accesses the council’s treasury without proper authorization. Some insiders have indicated that a petition will soon be filed with the EFCC, ICPC, and the Presidency to report his alleged misconduct.
