ALIA CONGRATULATES THE MASSES OF BENUE ON THEIR VICTORY AT THE SUPREME COURT.
Monday, January 8th, 2024

The people's Governor of Benue State, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia  has congratulated the masses of Benue people on their grand victory at the Supreme Court earlier today.

Reacting to the judgement which quashed the case of the PDP and her candidate, Engr. Titus Uba, the Governor, says the Supreme Court's decision only reaffirmed the time-honored mantra that power belongs to the people.

He stated that the mandate of the masses which was overwhelmingly given to him would only be used for the good and welfare of the people.

The Supreme Court while affirming the victory of the Governor berated the counsel for the PDP and described the matter brought against the Governor as frivolous, and of no effect, and a downright abuse of court process. 

The apex court further asked the PDP's lead counsel S. T. Hom SAN to withdraw the matter or risk the wrath of the court by the award of substantial cost, an order to which he immediately complied with.

Governor Alia who hailed the judiciary saying they have proven once more that they are truly the last hope of the common man dedicates his victory to the ordinary Benue person on the street, farmers, teachers, market women, pensioners, IDPs, youths, and civil servants previously depressed and demotivated. 

He maintains that he will continue to prioritize their needs and interests over those of people who do not mean well for the state. He calls on the people to continue to support the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to provide dividends of democracy to the Nigerian people.

The Governor finally reiterates his resolve to remain focused until the fortunes of the state are turned around for good and to ensure that Benue realizes its potential and takes its pride of place in the comity of developed states in Nigeria.

Chief Press Secretary to the Governor.

LIST OF APPROVED VISITORS TO SGF'S RESIDENCE; FALSE AND SHOULD BE DISREGARDED Tuesday, April 8, 2025 It has come to the attention of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) His Excellency Senator George Akume, that there is an exclusive list making the rounds in the social media of persons approved who may be welcome at his Abuja residence. His Excellency the SGF urges the general public to discountenance the said list as a fabrication from the author's imagination which has nothing to do with him whatsoever. The SGF works for the entire nation, not just Benue State. He enjoins everyone to recall that as the public servant he has been all through his life, his residence anywhere and office alike have always been open to all manner and class of persons who have a reason and need to visit there. He says the doors to his home and office remain open to all persons whose intentions are genuine, as has always been the norm, and there is no exclusive list o...

AN OPEN LETTER TO ALHAJI ATIKU ABUBAKAR: THE CASE OF GOING TO EQUITY WITHOUT CLEAN HANDS FROM: DANJUMA ISAIAH My attention as a Public Affairs Commentator and Citizen of Wukari in Taraba State has been invited to various invectives of unprecedented dimension directed at His Excellency, Senator Godswill Akpabio, GCON by my brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar ostensibly to give oxygen to resurrect his endless political odyssey and sordid presidential ambition. I am weighing into this public narrative to interrogate various disruptions triggered by some notable politicians like Atiku Abubakar in our national life. It is hardly possible to build anything out of frustration and bitterness. This is sadly the predicament of a one-time Vice President, Atiku Abubakar who is on course to being enlisted in the Guinness Book of Records, as the only person globally, who has unsuccessfully contested for President for six times spanning 33 years. These bitterness and frustration have beclouded his reasoni...

CHIEF OYEGUN OFFICIALLY JOINS ADC 16th July, 2025 A former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), John Odigie-Oyegun, has officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Oyegun, a former Edo State Governor, received the membership card of his new party on Tuesday. His membership card was handed to him by the party’s state chairman, Kennedy Odion, after he registered with the ADC in Benin city, the Edo State capital. Speaking at the presentation, Odion said the former APC national chairman is not new to the formation of political coalitions. He recalled Oyegun’s involvement with the formation of a coalition that led to the emergence of the APC in 2013 that eventually ousted the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015. He said: “He has put together what is called a coalition before, and he succeeded. So, in mathematics, once you understand the formula, the answer is in view. So, he understands how he did it before, ...
