Benue State Governor, North Central Nigeria, Hyacinth Alia has debunked insinuations on social media that he was in conflict with the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Senator George Akume.
Gatekeepers News reports that Alia spoke during an interaction with the media at Government House Makurdi.
He added that the leader of the party in Benue and North Central, Senator Akume, has been elevated to serve the whole country and instead of celebrating him, enemies of the state are busy making insinuations to cause crisis where it does not exist.
He said, “Akume is my leader, the leader of our great Party All Progressive Congress (APC) and my respect and loyalty to him is 100 per cent.
“I have no crisis with the SGF, he is my leader and the leader of my party in the North Central, and as far as I am concerned, saboteurs will continue to starve.”
The governor who commended members of the media for their support before, during and after the elections that produced him as well as the take-off of his administration said, “I will not take your support for granted because l am also part of you and there is no way I will offer quality services without you.”
He lamented a situation whereby corps members who were posted to serve in the state obtained deployment letters to other states because of poor renumeration.
