Benue State Governor, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, has denied any knowledge of an All Progressives Congress (APC) State Executive Committee (SEC) meeting allegedly announced by the former state chairman, Mr. Austin Agada.
Reports had circulated online suggesting that a meeting of the Benue APC SEC was scheduled for Thursday in Makurdi. In response, the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Tersoo Kula, issued a statement on Thursday addressing the issue.
Governor Alia stated that he has canceled the purported meeting, warning of consequences for anyone attempting to disrupt the peace by convening an unauthorized gathering.
“The last time I checked, I am still the APC leader in the state. No APC meeting can be summoned without my knowledge,” Governor Alia declared. “As the Chief Security Officer in the state, I should know when a legitimate gathering is supposed to hold.”
He emphasized that both Nigeria and Benue State are not lawless and that any attempts to undermine state authority would not be tolerated. “Those who think they can undermine the authority of the state must know this and know peace,” he added.
