From Uche Nnorom, Makurdi
Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, Benue State Chapter has frowned at Governor Hyacinth Alia’s continued draconian actions since he assumed office, especially the arrest and incarceration of Executive Chairmen of 4 local government areas of the state.
Publicity Secretary of the party Bemgba Iortyom at a press briefing on Thursday 6th June,2023 held at its Secretariat in Makurdi,called on Departmemt of State Security, DSS, to release with immediate effect the 4 council chairmen in their custody, among whom is a woman in her 80s, the Ushongo Council Chairman, whose only offence has been to answer the call to duty to serve her people in her old age.
He alleged that part of the plot being hatched by Governor Alia through the DSS might be to get the council chairmen to withdraw all court processes they have initiated to safeguard themselves and their offices, warming the governor, his cronies and the DSS that such antics are not only low but won’t see the light of day.
