 "I was handed a Qur’an by a Muslim Proselytizer today.  Let me explain: I was at JFK Airport waiting lot because of Tarmac delay of arrival planes. I decided to come out of the vehicle and continue praying Lauds while enjoying the morning sun. I was equally admiring nature and nurture especially the vehicles at the parking lot. I noticed a young man beside a nice Lincoln Escalade pressing his phone. No contact. I kept doing my rounds praying. I added another dimension to the prayer. “Lord, I wish someone will appear from nowhere and ask me which of the vehicles will add value to my apostolate.” I would definitely point at the Escalade. Anyone who runs a hospital in Nigeria knows what a clean Escalade will help you do in one year.  As I approached my vehicle, I noticed the young man following me and calling out to me. Momentarily I thought the Escalade is about to change ownership. He rather stretched his hands to me asking if I may accept his gift of a book. The most int...

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.
