A former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Michael Aondoakaa, SAN, has urged Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, to reconcile differences with the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, (SGF), George Akume.
Aondoakaa made this call on Tuesday on Arise Television’s ‘Morning Show’ monitored in Abuja.
Peoples Daily reports that his remark is coming as the face-off between the duo escalated following the ward congress of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), held across the state last Wednesday.
It would be recalled that the crisis, which began shortly after Alia’s inauguration in 2023, has split party members into two factions.
The ex-AGF said, “The President has directed a conciliatory process by the party regarding the differences between Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia and Secretary to the Government of the Federation George Akume.
“I don’t see anything wrong, nor do I see it as disrespect to the office of the Governor, if he approaches Akume in obedience to the President’s directive.”
