“APC BLACKMAILING ME” — GOVERNOR HYACINTH ALIA OF BENUE STATE.

Governor Hyacinth Alia of Benue state has described the recent statement by the three Zonal Vice Chairmen of the party in the state against him as groundless allegations aimed at blackmailing him.

Recall that the Zonal Vice Chairmen of the part in the state had accused the Governor of humiliating the party and alienating its leaders and stakeholders among others.

But reacting in a statement on his verified social media page, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Tersoo Kula, said “we have read claims made by the Benue APC Zonal Vice Chairmen, and despite our aversion to straightforwardly label these assertions, we find no more fitting euphemisms than to characterize them as an amalgamation of fabrications or groundless allegations directed and aimed at blackmailing the leader of the party in the state, His Excellency, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia.

“One such utter falsehood alleges that 80 percent of appointed caretaker chairmen were not part of the nominees sent to the Governor, suggesting opposition members took preponderance on the list. However, as we eagerly looked forward to seeing the evidence to this watery claim, there was none, giving it away as a mere figment of their imagination.

“Another fallacious claim holds that the widespread party dissatisfaction peaked with the Governor’s caretaker chairman announcement. That claim conveniently overlooks the fact that the Governor as the leader of the party in the state has the prerogative to subject suggested names to scrutiny.

“No sane Governor will accept wholly everything suggested to him hook, line and sinker. Sadly, it appears that the “party” synonymizes suggestions with the Ten Commandments handed to Moses on Mount Sinai written on the two stone tablets.

“The three-man forerunner team further suggests that the Governor favors people outside the APC who allegedly worked against him during electioneering and voting phases. This appears more like petty resentments drawn from psychotic imagination, lacking any substantive basis.

“They also question the legitimacy of a meeting attended by notable party figures and statesmen like Sen. Barnabas Gemade, Sen. Ameh Ebute, Gen. Lawrence Onoja rtd, Navy Comdr Dan Ihinga rtd, Gen. India Garba rtd etc whom they derogatorily tagged “Emergency Stakeholders” and hinted at a conspiratorial motive behind the meeting, insinuating a plot against the party. The irony of branding a seasoned politician in the class of Gemade with such a demeaning tag is truly enlightening.

“According to the three mature dancers of a proverbial drumming from the bush, their suspicion, they claim, was further fueled by the presence of Dr. Chile Igbawua, who is not an APC member. This unsubstantiated claim further exposes a desperate inclination on the part of the fabricators to link Rev. Fr. Alia with the opposition. They have also gone to town with the gleeful rumour that Gov. Alia has concluded plans to dump his party, the APC.


“They buried shame while constructing formal media statements from rumor mills , trivial gossip, and their whimsical imaginations, rather than relying on concrete facts.

“A particularly absurd claim says there is a formation and funding of a committee headed by Gen. Lawrence Onoja and Barr. Emmanuel Jime, supposedly tasked to perforate the Aso Villa and National Secretariat with a mandate to spread falsehoods against the party and the SGF.

“The desperation behind such fabrications raises concerns about the team’s motives. It is worth mentioning here that both party chieftains, specifically targeted as subjects of blackmail by the orchestrators, are people of impeccable reputation. They have diligently served both the party, the state, and the nation in various high-ranking capacities. It beguiles the imagination to fathom how these fabricators conjured the notion of reducing these distinguished party figures into mere errand henchmen for mischievous purposes.

“The narrative takes a shocking turn as the accusers declared the Benue APC’s staunch support for the Governor, insisting there’s no turning back. This claim contradicts the earlier narrative of discontent, further exposing the inconsistency in their fabricated stories.

“Lastly, the ‘party’ claims that the Governor has not made any financial contributions to the party, and they too have not asked him for money aside from the monthly dues, which they claim he has neglected to pay since assuming office. Wow! To cut short this discussion, we demand to speak with the books.

‘It is unfortunate that amidst all this, the spinners of these fabrications might have at least made some sense had they expressed concerns about the governor’s performance or public dissatisfaction with his leadership style, perceiving potential repercussions for the party in future elections. However, what we read was an extensive narrative fixated on the elders and the party and shamelessly laced with falsehood in their desperate quest to discredit and blackmail Rev. Fr. Iormem Alia.

“While we acknowledge the consciousness in uniting Benue State and making it a better place for us and our children, we equally wish to submit that developing Benue State in all sectors is an imperative that sits boldly on the wish list of Governor Hyacinth Alia.

“Governor Alia understands the importance of unity and teamwork in achieving the above. He has been making frantic efforts towards maintaining a cordial working relationship with the leadership of his party.

“His continued funding of party activities, presence and funding of the expanded stakeholders meetings of APC in the state is an eloquent testimony of how he holds the party so dear to his heart.”

Governor Alia should know the type of party APC is..

But we continue to watch him..


Maybe, something good will come out of APC at last,, starting from Governor Hyacinth Alia of Benue.

Is their way

Imagine a whole governor quaking and quivering because of some entities. Goes on to show you that most politicians only want to retain power any way possible.

Is their way

When I saw the news headline,, I made a wild guess that Gov. Alia wasn't sharing free money to them.
.


I opened the news, and BOOM.!! 💥 💥
I saw something about funds..
Ok naa..

I was not disappointed..

Good morning fr Alia, pls go to obaseki , ngige etc for tutorial. Politics in Nigeria especially in APC is not administering sacraments.

I hope they dont inpeach him

And why should he not appoint party members who worked for him?
They will make it about sharing money as if politicians don't need to make a living.
People join politics for different reasons.....some it's to advance their business. So if a party man has worked for the party spent his money and time its only natural that government give him contract to recover his money. So long as its legal and not inflated.

Its how it's done all over the world .

Party is the vehicle used to get to the office.
If you abandon the vehicle you will still need in 4 years that's your business

They want to Samuel ortorm you.... Run o

Father don't want to share the money

You can whitemail yourself Rev. if they're blackmailing you.

Pio44:
APC is evil

Keep kwayet, which party in Nigeria is not

Hehehe.

I just wonder how rev father and APC will be placed side by side.

A party who's national chairman is a dollar ambassador ,big time looter.

Senate president is corruption personified .

President a mistry .

The rev father is amongst the problem of Nigeria. You can't be associating with corrupt men and still be expecting a different result.

Alright

As a man of God, they'd never like the truth you preach to them.

father whatever you do please don't allow those terrible thieves in APC to decieve you into sharing the money with them..please use state funds for the overall good of citizens..be a light in that dark party of looters who is quick to put dollars in thier garments..father runooooo

Wahala... These (Benue APC leaders) people dont care about the people of benue, they are just after their pockets and any governor that doesnt aid the enrichment of their pocket is not fit in their opinion

Ambode wasn't sharing money we Saw how he ended

Lagos money is for Lagos development but someone at Burdillon Said otherwise

This Benue governor will soon decamp very very soon

Tinubu has been the Governor of Lagos since 1999 till then just that he's not occupying the office but he's in control , this is exactly what George Akume wants to play in Benue state.

APC is evil

APC is the worst thing to happen to Nigeria.

It is well. Hopefully, he wouldn't compromise his values and beliefs.

I don't think this is my business

Let's the good governance starts from you as an APC governor by so doing you will be justified

What to say
Is a political game
So play your card

I am not surprised.. Na APC doings

APC as a party are full of betrayers

Cursed state

Really

Another complaining gov. Fr., kindly leave APC and their political issue and focus on benue state. After all, since you became the gov without going through the political god-fatherism, I see no reason why what ever APC do, should bother you. Infact, you can even declare yourself partyless if that will help you to work.
