This priest must not fail the Catholic Church.

You cannot loot state resources to give a wife and children you don't have... unless you have a secret nuclear family somewhere.

Omobude244:

100%

people voted him because he is a Rev father not because of his party

PDP LP APC
he would have still won squarely

He wouldn't have won in another party bro. Benue is APC and PDP

I no get comment, na kweshion I get

who be the first lady of Benue State at the moment? Abi fada no dey straff for gonment haus?

Omobude244:

so anyone that doesnt agree with ur foolish reasoning is now igbo?
so na only igbos get sense for nigeria?

God help u people from this inherited hate and bitterness

You're patient.

I am Tiv and Alia is doing very very well. Your reasoning is sound. They want to push him around. They want him to share money.

Alaigbo:
Would Alia have won without APC too ?

yes he would have won in any party

Omobude244:

sense of leaving your area, and go develop another people's region, continue, foolish people, no wonder you are a failure

Politics is dicey, and while we all commented Alia, he should thread carefully.

There's no doubt about it: with or without APC, Alia would have won, and to that extent, Akume cannot lay claim to 'I put you there" god father type compelex, like we have in Rivers.

But all the same, totally abandoning the party is NOT the way to go about it.

Whether we like it or not, party must have a say to some extent in the selection of key officials. This according to reports is the main grouse they have.

For instance the recent selection of LGA caretaker chairman for the state, which apart from Tarka, he almost singlehandedly choose all of them on his own. And this after he allegedly asked the party members to send in names of thier respective nominees.

There must be something wrong with the godfather of Benue politics, Akume. He had problems with Ortom and now Alia. He should face his SGF jooor. Nonsense!

Tsolutionifede:

lolz
eyah!!
is really pathetic
please where is the developed place in Nigeria currently?

If not for Akume, who is Mr Kula to make such useless statement. His statement have been showing clearly that he is doing anti-party. Himself and Paul Biam are falling the Alia's empire. He talks before thinking.

Antoeni:
This Rev Fr is Too Sluggish to Run a Volatile State Like Benue State.
Running a Parish is Different From Governing a State

Pls can you define "sluggish" better ??

Because, a governor paying salaries and pension, constructing roads and discouraging touts in not more than 6months should be applauded and praise.

You helped Apc win... Meaning it wasn't really the peoples vote that counted... And this is coming from a reverend father

Father no gree share money as usual instead he is clearing backlogs of Pensions and salaries and this is strange to these Benue politicians

Na every matter them go use worry Tinubu?

Alia is a Governor, let him run the state any how he likes, next election is by the corner, when the time comes, you guys can now decide!

Tinubu should not be called for every matter, we are hungry, only economic matter alone is more than enough for Tinubu to focus on please.

I won't take nonsense if by this time next year I can't see devidence of my vote for Tinubu and APC

DREAMHOMES6970:

You don't understand Politics, it's a dangerous game and you can't call it an holy player because he is a Reverend.

But even a Pastor can help in Politics in so many ways aside rigging....

How is he sluggish? Or because he is not in the news 24/7

Alaigbo:
Would Alia have won without APC too ?

Yes he would

Alaigbo:

Surely he would have won, even with the Labour Party. Alia gave APC a better image and another opportunity in Benue state. Alia’s had become the biggest name in 2023 by the election. If he loses, APC is lost in Benue.

If Benue must be developed, the old brigade of looters and thieves must be thrown away. If that is exactly what Alia is doing, he then is on track.

I stand with father abeg😁😁😁


This house of assembly members want use our head

Sluggish how just these few months we've started witnessing huge differences from previous years. Fr. Alia is a very wonderful blessing to Benue State. Ha! we've suffered too much, all that's happening is as a result of him not willing to continue in their usual money-sharing way of running the state.

He is so much on track, so so much.

Kukutente23:
Oya na

It is surprising how APC are turning on themselves fast like robots
I guess sharing the booty of an heist ain't always rancor free

Not everything is politics bro. It is corruption that is trying to fight the rev father back. I visited benue last month, I was really impress. There are so project going on. Most of there bad road are now in progress. The senators want the rev father to be sharing money with them instead of working

But it's politics of godfatherism that's at play

Akume is the one fighting the gov by proxy as everyone knows
The reason you adduced is corruption but what's happening is not far different from what's going on in Rivers

Truth

Ur name is Omobude but the Idiot still calls you an IgboMan.

When you say Tinubu supporters are FOOLS, some Pple will be angry.

But this news doesn't say anything about party or you read other thing that I didn't read? Benue National Assembly members says Fr. Alia didn't carry them along and not didn't carry the party along.
Please must you comment out of point?
Mind you his failure will not be traceable to anyone but himself. If he feels choosing people that will work with him, if I may ask you, what is wrong with that? Today we call every past governors and presidents either as failure or hardworking people but not those that worked or not worked with them. All this cry of the Benue National Assembly members by your insinuation should be from the APC. Those people are just dancing macabre dance and nothing more.

mrvitalis:
This is the truth sha without Alia APC would have lose Benue 100%

Does that now make him greater than the Party?

Should the Party now close shop and allow him to combine the Party roles with his roles as Gov and Party chairman?

Rev Father should not destroy the Party bcoz he would need the Party someday bcoz when Benue people "change am" for him after all he's not a saint.

Omobude244:

We must be proud of what we represent
Proud that anyone who dare to say the truth in Nigeria is seen as igbo.
How can a human being support Akume to share Benue people money?
With our full chest we support Rev.Alia to work for the people not few greedy ones.

SamuelAnyawu:

Governors are the leaders of the party in every state

He would have won. People were tired of PDP and the candidate for the APC wouldn't have matched Alia's popularity and acceptance. The only thing APC can boasts of if Alia is not with them is the ability to rig and manipulate the results given if INEC is compromised

Alaigbo:
Would Alia have won without APC too ?

For now Alia is greater than APC because it took his popularity and his religion inclination for APC to have won many posts in the last general elections. If not him, APC would have been in vacuum in Benue state. The saving grace for other parties in the next elections is to field his kind, as to equalize his popularity and religion colouration.
Besides, from the news the party didn't complain about him, it is only the members of the party and I don't think they constitute a whole party or are they members of the Benue APC executives?
