He has been suspended by the Catholic church, unlike some pentecostal churches that will form committe for him and their GO visiting politicians.

Alia, who was suspended by the church after his declaration of interest to run for the post in the 2023 general elections, contested against the former Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Mike Aondoakaa, and the former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Barnabas Gemade.

Just keep kwayet please, you are making no sense.

You should have kept your mouth shut rather opening it up waah and making yourself a nuisance here.

How do you know he is false?
Why are you judging him??
If your blood can't wash away his sins, you don't have any right to judge him?? ?


Keep kwayet jare...was I the one who suspended him from the church?

There are many grounds on which he could be a great choice: the Roman Catholic church is strong in Benue state, he doesn't have a wife or kids, so he is single minded and free from family commitment to a reasonable degree, the training of a priest is extensive and you can count on him being a good administrator, PLUS he should be a God fearing fellow. Benue really needs deliverance....

Yeah true but I thought the way they insult adeboye for interfering in politics for being a pastor..Besides he was suspended by the church

One with GOD is a majority.as you won the primaries with a wide gap, so shall you win in the general elections against the governors candidate(Titus Uba) with GOD all things are possible, congratulations priest.

I'm even surprised that priest won on the platform of Islamic party, according to our brothers. Lol. See as they are telling him that he should have resigned.

True political leadership serve the people and ensures that justice, equity, security, prosperity and judgement is put in place. That is the work of God. True clergies serve the people too. He leads people, including politicians in the way of justice, righteousness, judgement and mercy. That is the work of God. So what other master are you talking about? A true political leader and clergy are both doing the work of God. So what's your point?

Why not resign before contesting?
And save your respect.
Why confuse the public who may think the church is against you?

Next time do things in an honourable manner. It pays. Thank you.


Why are you people so dumb and myopic? What kind of education do you people have in Nigeria?

I respectfully disagree, I think part of the reason the rot in our polity has thrived is because good men and women shy away from politics. He can still serve God and humanity in a political position if his heart and intentions are sincere.

Evil prevails because good men do nothing. We need more good and godly people in our polity, to phase out the present crop of politicians we have. Evil men should be the ones sceptical of joining politics because they know the light of good men will outshine and overpower their darkness.

Amplify it my dear sister. It’s time to embrace light.

The number of vote Rv father Hyacinth Alia is going to get in next years guber elections will be record breaking in the history of Nigeria's gubernatorial race. Infact every local govt in Benue state supports him more than he supports himself. Benue is rotten from the head and only God's anointed can save us.
Congrats to my Gov to be
Ortom is brought Benue to the lowest level ever. I pity the next Governor, he'd have a lot of work to do.

Re: Catholic Priest, Hyacinth, Wins Benue APC Governorship Ticket by Stamagba(m): 11:42pm On May 28, 2022
I am shocked by the way some people will just open their mouth and say any rubbish that comes out.
Priesthood is not like office work that you can just resign from. You can't "unpriest a priest"
Secondly, someone opened his mouth to say fake priest. My advice is, that person shouldn't attract curse to his generations.
And for those that don't know, after the election, this won't be the first time that a Catholic priest will be governor in Benue state. There was Fr. Adasu and he is the best till date.

He knows it's the law in Catholic church. Did you read the thread with the letter that was used to communicate his suspension to him? Everything isn't about bitterness
I know of course... But dat doesn't mean he wouldn't gloat wen he eventually wins.

I mean, if he looses d guber, it could warrant missing out on both sides. So, he would b so glad to win...nd spite certain people looking out for him to fail. Ha, jealousy and backbiting dey everywhere naa.

He was not bitter for being suspended

He knows the consequences of his action and also know the law as a priest

Mark my post this man will win the general
election

About 90% chrstain in Benue are Catholic and they will vote him
Am already sensing dat too... But, I would've asked where he got money to fund his political ambition, ....

No no, he doesn't need to gloat and won't. He was suspended, not expelled. After his political career he can continue his priestly duties. That's how the Catholic church does it.
