It takes wisdom to be a good leader. This includes accepting responsibility for both failures and achievements. And oftentimes good leaders face criticism that is unnecessary but all these things are encompassed with leadership.
His Excellency, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia PhD is just a victim of circumstance, he has faced criticism from both within his family, the APC and a faction of the PDP who have aligned themselves together to ensure the Governor’s name is dragged in the mud.
Why on earth would a sane mind, criticize the Press Release by Sir Tersoo Kula, Governor Alia’s Chief Press Secretary. Many are unawares or certainly do not care about those from Benue State leaving in a far away North. Have you ever imagined what would have become of their faith?
I commend the wisdom of His Excellency, Governor Hyacinth Iormem Alia Ph.D to direct that Press Release, now the lives of our brothers and sisters leaving in the North would be safe now.
The already hatchet plans of some criminals that would have taken advantage of our silence about this ugly situation to kill people and destroy their properties has now been averted.
No one would be happy that his brothers are killed elsewhere for a crime they know nothing about. We must be rational and logical in thinking while putting aside all sentiments.
Again, I score the Governor high on this and pray that may God continue to bless him with more wisdom and knowledge of understanding to rule Benue State well and take us to the promised land.
