Benue Gov, Alia Addresses Supporters Amid Rumoured Rift With SGF, Akume
In his speech he said
I want all of us to listen to me and listen to me very well. Benue State is the only State you and I have. So this is the only State we call home.
Nobody, I repeat, no single individual has a monopoly over Benue State. All of us are stakeholders of Benue State, therefore no one must and should not intimidate, threaten anyone of you standing here.
A follow-up on the crisis
The crisis engulfing the ruling All Progressives Congress in Benue State has continued to fester following a rift between Governor Hyacinth Iormem Alia and loyalists of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Ex-Gov George Akume.
A loyalist of Akume, the current Deputy Spokesperson of the House of Representatives, Hon. Philip Agbese today removed the portrait of the Governor from his Office.
Agbese represents Ado/Okpokwu/Ogbadibo Federal Constituency in the green chamber.
Pointing to Akume’s, Agbese reiterated
He remains the leader of the party and the father of the State, he’s a man of fairness, equity, and that’s why we love him, and he has earned his respect.
Pointing to Alia’s portrait, Agbese said:
From today, I officially remove the portrait of this person (Alia) from my office because he’s not fit to be our leader. I can’t follow him if he doesn’t have respect for democracy, no respect for the Constitution, you are not my father, you are not my brother, your picture has no business been in my office.
Amid calls from officials of the State Government asking the State Chairman of the APC to resign, Austin Agada has fought back.
Agada, through the State Publicity Secretary alerted Nigerians of a rumoured sponsored protest against Senate President Akpabio, Akume and President Bola Tinubu.
The State Chapter of the APC fingered the State Government as those behind the protest.
