Benue State Governor Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia has reiterated that he has no rift with the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, (SGF), and leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the state, Sen. George Akume.
Governor Alia stated this in Government House, on Saturday, during his maiden meeting with the media practitioners in the state.
Alia was responding to insinuations that he and the leader of the
Alia who described as saboteurs those insisting he has a soured relationship with Sen Akume said he will ensure they are starved of the evils pleasures they are looking for.
He said, “For the records, I don’t have any crisis with SGF. He is my leader, he is the APC party leader and I respect that hundred percent.
“When people create, make or present their perceived perceptive of a crisis, they cash in on it. So when there is no crisis they want crisis to be created because they are starved. As far as I’m concerned, saboteurs will continue to be starved because there is no crisis.
“We as a state would have organised a welcome-home for the SGF since he assumed office but the entire North central states including FCT wants to be party to it as well which is why it is taking us this length of time.
“As someone who is representing the entire north central including the FCT, we should rather be celebrating him rather than making some insinuations and w trying to create crisis where the crisis does not exist,” he said.
Alia said he is available and accessible to everyone and will welcome advices, suggestions and ideas that will further help him develop a Benue of the people have dreamt of.
