 BENUE APC CRISIS: I'M GOING NOWHERE - GOV. ALIA 11th April, 2025      Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia has disclosed he is not leaving the All Progressives Congress (APC) for another party, despite the ongoing crisis in the state’s APC. The governor made this clarification during a media chat yesterday at the Government House in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, saying that such insinuation is coming from mischief-makers. “I am not going anywhere, for the records,” he said, adding that those pushing that narrative do not wish him and the state well. “I am not stupid to follow the bandwagon of mischief makers to take the state down into the dungeon again. “I came into politics to restore Benue to its lost glory; otherwise, I would have remained a priest. I would have remained in a local environment with my people. I have to fulfil my contract with God and the masses. “The previous administrations did the little they could, but the immediate past did nothing,” Alia ...

BENUE GOV.-ELECT SAYS, 'I DON'T NEED FIRST LADY TO GOVERN'



The Benue State governor-elect, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia, has said that he has worked for over 32 years as a Catholic Priest without a wife, therefore he did not need a First Lady to govern the state.

Fr. Alia who spoke through his director of communications, Tersoo Kula, said aside being a Priest without a wife, the Constitution of Nigeria does not even recognise the Office of the First Lady, and therefore the First Lady does not have any major role in the governance of the state.

Fr Alia, in his reaction after his declaration as governor-elect said: “My fellow citizens, a new Benue is possible, and I enjoin all of you to join hands with me to make it a reality. Let us begin by embracing a new way of thinking and action by cultivating a new ethos that expresses the best of us, that brings forth our better angels and not our worst demons.”

According to him, unending political recriminations and willful economic sabotage must give way to accommodation and the pursuit of loftier ideals.

Meanwhile, Fr Alia has promised to clear the backlog of salary arrears, pensions and gratuities, resettle IDPs in their ancestral homes, address persistent security challenges and set the stage for a prosperous Benue.

“I would like to congratulate my opponents from the other parties for making it an interesting contest. However, the anxious period of politicking is over. Now is the time to unite and face the challenges of development,” he added.

The clergyman said that he needs to set the foundations for a strong economy and to start building an economy of the future based on skills and talents and education and the application of technology with the realization that the forces of global competition and technology mean that “we can only compete based on skills and talents. Let us unlock our wealth.”

Meanwhile, some Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) have attributed the loss of some big betters in the 2023 general elections to bad governance and the improvement in the electoral system.

The 2023 general elections have seen upsets  with prominent politicians in parts of the country losing election to mostly unknown names.
