The Benue State Government has declared that zoning aside, Governor Hyacinth Alia remains the real deal for the State ahead of 2027.
It also stated that the Governor has redefined governance which the people are already enjoying the fruits.
The Chief Press Secretary to the Benue State Governor, Sir Tersoo Kula, who stated these while addressing his home people of Ushongo Local Government, said that it would be unpardonable if anyone from the area would attempt circumventing the second term bid of Governor Alia as such would be tantamount to robbery.
Sir Kula, who spoke on Sunday, at Mbayem, Atirkyese in Ushongo Local Government while addressing a crowd that graced the reception that followed a Thanksgiving Mass at the St. Francis Catholic Church, Boor in honour Mr. Benard Dooga, an All Progressives Congress (APC) official from the area, stressed that there is everything wrong in teaming up against a transformative leader like Governor Alia who is steadily delivering on the terms of his contract with the people of the state.
Kula said; “Those who are conniving, cooking vicious propaganda to deceive the people to undermine the monumental strides of the Governor can only show how far their desperation to return Benue to the land of torture they experienced over the years”.
According to Kula; “You must reject them with their resurrected sweet promises. If today Nigeria is talking about zoning arrangements or power shift, that arrangement emanated from the Tiv people principle of eat and give it to your brother.
“The people of Ushongo cannot prematurely challenge the Governorship of the state at this moment. Even if the Kwande block is to produce a governor now, it cannot be Ushongo.
“The Jechira bloc is presently occupying the seat with Governor Alia holding sway, and like other blocs, they need to complete their two terms,” he declared.
Kula particularly noted that Governor Alia is steadily delivering on his covenant with the people, pointing out the unprecedented interventions in road networks spanning the three geopolitical zones.
The Governor’s spokesperson highlighted the massive interventions in education through the renovation and construction of schools and resuscitation of the system with over 9,000 manpower; serious improvements in healthcare infrastructure and equipment, housing, agriculture, security interventions, youth employment, civil service reforms, and establishing industries and revival of the moribund state-owned enterprises.
