Benue Governor, Rev Fr Hyacinth Alia has expressed his appreciation to the people of Benue, for heeding his words not to join the nationwide protest.

The Governor, in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary Tersoo Kula, particularly praises the organized labour, trade unions, civil society organisations, the youth and other groups in the state for keeping to their words not to participate in the protest.

He said the decision of the people to shelve the protest in the state demonstrates their firm belief in the policies of the APC led administration in the country.

He also described their gesture as an indication that the people are willing to give the government more time to improve on their welfare.

Governor Alia assured the people of the State of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s unflinching love for Benue, stating that the numerous projects embarked upon by his administration across the length and breadth of the state are as a result of the support and cordial relationship his administration has enjoyed from the Tinubu led federal government.

He promised to continue to do his best to provide them with good governance, insisting that it is the only way he will justify the trust placed in him by the people of Benue.

He therefore implored the people to continue to remain peaceful in going about their normal businesses throughout the period.
