 PRESIDENT TINUBU CONGRATULATES GOVERNOR HYACINTH ALIA ON HIS 60TH BIRTHDAY President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Reverend Father Hyacinth Alia,  Governor of Benue State, and an ordained priest on his 60th birthday. In a statement personally signed by President Tinubu, he says "I commend Governor Alia for his transformative efforts to industrialise the state and expand its road network. Benue State, famously Nigeria's food basket, now has tomatoes and fruit juice, beer, nylon and polythene factories, as well as a large-scale bakery, providing jobs for its people and adding value to its agricultural products. The iconic underpasses in Makurdi and Gboko have also eased traffic and improved urban life." It adds that Governor Alia's political journey is simply that of faith made manifest, ordained a Catholic priest in 1990 by Bishop Athanasius Atule Usuh of Makurdi Catholic Diocese.

HARRIS COUNTY JUDGE LINA HIDALGO SAYS SHE WAS 'KICKED OUT' OF HOUSTON RODEO CONCERT AND 'MANHANDLED'. (PHOTO).


 Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo says she was 'kicked out' of Houston Rodeo concert and 'manhandled'


Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo says she was forced to leave the Houston Rodeo after being denied entry to a Megan Moroney concert at NRG Stadium. 


In a since-deleted Facebook post, Hidalgo claimed she was “manhandled” when she and her guests, including two children, attempted to access a restricted area reserved for premium “chute seat” ticket holders. 


Rodeo officials stated that Hidalgo was redirected to her assigned seating, but she insisted she was “kicked out” after being threatened with arrest.


Hidalgo argued the incident may have been politically motivated or tied to gender bias, noting that male county executives would not have been treated the same way. 


She pointed out that Harris County owns NRG Stadium and that county officials, including herself, have previously enjoyed free access to events there, such as a Beyoncé concert in 2023. 


In her post, Hidalgo criticized rodeo security and leadership, saying the confrontation reflected deeper issues of respect and fairness.


The judge ended her statement by calling on the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo to disclose how much it has charged past county judges for concert access. 


While rodeo representatives maintained that Hidalgo was simply denied entry to a premium seating area, her account of being physically shoved and removed has sparked questions about the handling of the situation and whether politics played a role in her treatment.
