They should give him chance to rule that state. Benue state have been governed by greedy politicians since it's creation. Bad roads everywhere.

If he has the masses at heart, then the church should allow him to contest.

I understand Catholic Church has laws backing our priests and religious acts, but I am supporting him if he is honest with this.

If he gets the ticket under APC, na straight win o, even the opposition party go lock up for him.
I learnt he is popular and has massive followers or support over there.

If the man wins by any chance now, the same Catholic church will be the first to claim him as their own....



The Catholics in Benue are massively supporting him. The Church just needed to do the needful which such participation is against the rules of the church.

If APC gives this priest the ticket it is all game over in Benue.

His Biggest war will be if APC godfathers like Akume will agree he wins cos everyone needs a loyalist and I don’t think The Godfather’s will be okay with bim

And what do you think he's being the governor of Benue will add to the Catholic Church?

And mind you am not a Catholic, but the Catholic Church is bigger than any individual.

If APC gives this man the ticket I’m sorry for whoever PDP presents.

It will be a massive flawless victory in Benue.

In fact PDP won’t bother presenting a candidate. This priest na King that side
You are 100% right. I am from Benue. The man is a movement; he is his own opposition. His popularity and acceptance here is massive.

I think it’s his fundamental right ?
He also has fundamental human right to get married but he relinquish that right when he decided to become a Priest. He can become a Politician but he has the leave the church first. You can't mix both

If Moses Adasu did and won, why won't I?

But then again, you would need a first lady to be a complete governor and that is what the church is dissociating from...

After Fr Adasu won, he had no choice than to get married..

Please stay away from political Offices dear Catholic priests to avoid a "second Adasu"

Rev Fr Dr Hyacinth Iormem Alia is the choice of the people. He is voice of the voiceless! His extra concern for the welfare of humanity through spiritual counseling and physical charity projects has earned him alot of battles among his vocational hierarchy but a great admiration by the poor masses. Widows, orphans, REFUGEES and the sick in the entire BENUE valley are united alongside well meaning sons, daughters and relatives of BENUE STATE to redefine democracy. The few public structures we have in BENUE STATE were the achievements of a clergy in the same category who answered the call of the people. The government that lasted for less than a year is the only democratic dispensation BENUE STATE have witnessed.
Religion is another deadly form of politics. Religion has done more harm than good to humanity. One can be tempted to conclude that RELIGION is the WORST human creation as a result of the struggle to have a to control over fellow humans'intelligence. Most RELIGIOUS countries are poorest in the world. AFRICA and MIDDLE EAST are full of war and segregations because of ancestral LITERATURES that are man made for the struggle to OWN GOD. No one can own or become God �
Why should religion keep people captives by brainwashing us? Why should we create problems and wait for the holy spirit to come and SOLVE? Why did you preach tolerance and unity but separate HYPOCRITICALLY from the society that feeds you? Why can't a religious leader intervene in the welfare of the people? RELIGION HAS CREATED DIVISION, SEGREGATION AND VIOLENCE!
For us, good governance with value to humanity through democratic equity and just are above your laws where welfare is only for the ordained! The SHEEP are also IMPORTANT.
WITH DUE RESPECT, WE NEED DR. HYACINTH ALIA...YOU CAN REMOVE THE REV FR...this not the first intra-denominational political fallout with REVOLUTIONIST. Those who have knowledge of religious and denominational politics can attest.
POLITICS SHOULD ALSO ACCEPT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE FOR THE FIRST TIME. GIVE US DR.ALIA and we will FORGIVE ALL YOUR SINS.
VOICE OF THE PEOPLE IS THE VOICE OF GOD �

Fr. Hyacinth Alia is like the messiah Benue People are hoping for. He has the interest of the common man in mind and at least he's not the regular politicians who don't give a hoot about the common man. In fact, Fr. Alia is like a revolution in Benue State.

Talking about his suspension, it is the normal practice of the church. The Bishop had to suspend him because it's his duty to do so and nothing more.

Looking at the wordings of the letter too, it doesn't sound like someone who is angry, calling Fr. Alia my son, your priest and brother.

I mean, why doesn't he just resign and pursue His political career knowing fully well that he'd be going against the code of conduct of the priest?

If you read the letter I posted, the Bishop said he stands suspended till he ceases being disobedient grin... however, if he resigns himself, he won't be able to get back to his proper position as a priest again.

Fr. Adasu too was suspended when he contested in 1992 but the suspension was lifted once the Military took over. Alia's case is no different.

Shut up, you are just mentally wretched! Do you know the weight of monetary gifts most popular men of GOD receive? Some of you criticize without brain.

May poverty not kill you! To you everything is tithe and offering. To slap you dey hungry me, I swear. You think a priest as popular as he is will struggle to raise 50 million, that’s if he doesn’t have triple of it in his account?

So many of you are irritatingly ignorant about how most rich pastors get their money. I doubt you are even a Christian. Getat jor!

Not even an Angel can make a difference in Nigeria working with the 1999 constitution .
But you guys are complaining that nothing is working in Nigeria, now a righteous man wants to run una say no... Abi Buhari better pass am?.. David was a king and a prophet so why can't the priest do same?
