Governor Alia Calls-Off Inappropriate Benue APC SEC Meeting

 Benue State Governor, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia on Thursday, August 15, 2024 called off a purported meeting of the State Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) that was allegedly announced by the former State Chairman of the Party, Mr Austin Agada.

Governor Alia said that as the leader of the APC in the State, there is no meeting of the Party in the state that can be summoned without his knowledge.

He therefore warned that those who think they can undermine the authority of the state must know that Benue State is not a lawless State, stressing that there will be consequences if any person or group attempts to disrupt the peace of the state by converging for any unauthorised meeting.

Alia in a statement by Sir Tersoo Kula, Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Benue State, denied knowledge of the APC State Executive Committee.

There were publications on the cyberspace to the effect that a meeting of the State Executive Committee of the Benue APC was summoned to hold on Thursday, August 15th, 2024.

The Governor said; “The last time I checked, I am still the APC leader in the state. No APC meeting can be summoned without my knowledge.

“Not just that, as the Chief Security Officer in the state, I should know when a legitimate gathering is supposed to hold. Nigeria is not a lawless state and so is Benue state.

“Those who think they can undermine the authority of the state must know this and know peace,” he warned.
