Those dreaming of divisiveness in Benue APC should wake up, Says Gov. Alia

From Uche Nnorom, Makurdi

Benue State Governor Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia has insisted that there is no wrangling in the All Progressives Congress, APC, as the party is waxing stronger on all fronts.
The Governor who made the insistence at the party’s expanded stakeholders meeting held at Government House, Makurdi on Tuesday, maintained that there is only traditional, original and universally accepted APC in the State under the leadership of the acting chairman, Benjamin Omakolo.
He said those dreaming of division in the party should wake up and jon the train which is moving fast.
The Governor acknowledged the concerns shown by the Tor Tiv and traditional chiefs in inviting him and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation Sen. George Akume to confirm the rumors they were hearing in the social media, of a rift between them.
“During the meeting, I and the SGF hugged ourselves signifying peace. I respect him for his statesmanship.
“We want to appreciate all our Tiv traditional fathers how they tried to find out what they kept reading in the newspapers, screen of television and the social media.
“We spoke to them from our hearts, they gave us advise. They initiated peace that was near-eluding us. I embraced my big brother the SGF and he embraced me and behold their was peace.
“And so let no one from any quarters be deceived that the APC in Benue State is disenfranchised; no we are not. Under my leadership as a man of peace, there must continue to be peace; under my leadership as a man of growth and development. Not only APC but the entire Benue state must be developed.
“I thank the Tor Tiv and our traditional fathers who took this initiative and I also thank the SGF who responded for coming for us to let what we say in primary school, “let bygone be bygone.”
“So for those who are day dreaming on the divisiveness of the APC in the state, wake up. The train of the APC in the state is one and it’s moving and it’s moving fast.
“I will like all the citizenry in the state to understand that actions and words have consequences. You cannot be de-marketing the state; politicking is over, now it’s over. It is time for governance.”
