Press Statement

Governor Alia Dissolves Exco, Appoints Barr. Atagher as New Chief of Staff.

Wednesday, July 30, 2025

The Governor of Benue State, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia has dissolved the Benue State Executive Council.

The Governor appoints former two term Attorney General of the state and Commissioner for Justice, Barr. Moses Atagher as new Chief of Staff.

Barr. Atagher, a seasoned administrator is also former acting Managing Director, Federal Mortgage Bank. His appointment takes immediate effect.

The decision was announced by the Governor at the close of the 12th (2025) meeting of the Benue State Executive Council.

He appreciates all the former Commissioners who worked with him for two years, calling on those who may not be called back or reappointed to stay in the party and continue to liaise with the system as they are only paving way for other citizens who may be chosen to replace them to also contribute their quota.

Apart from the Chief of Staff, the Governor announced that the dissolution affects only Commissioners.

Speaking on behalf of the dissolved Commissioners, Barr. Bemsen Mnyim appreciates the Governor for giving them the opportunity to serve the state.

According to him, "...at every stage in life, everywhere you are called to serve is a school. We have learnt a lot while working with you".

The former Commissioners are directed to handover to the Permanent Secretaries of their Ministries as soon as possible.

Only God knows who must have angered Governor Alia. Am guessing that the poor priest suffered massively from working with his God father Akume's imposed Attorney General, State Excos and Commissioners.

May God give you the wisdom, grace and strength to raise Benue State up!

HE Rev. Fr. Dr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia

Fr, If indeed you want to be honest with yourself and continue the covenant with God Almighty. Kindly leave the evil party, of course next year when enough momentum must have gathered against PBAT.

Thank you

Concerned Citizen.


ADC: HERE WE COME!!!

Nigerians are 'hungry' let others too come and chop. It's wise thing by the Governor.

Person wey edit this man picture is very wicked

From Uba Sani in Kaduna to Governor Alia in Benue. The Northern APC governors are beginning to read the handwriting on the wall.

The margin with which Tinubu will lose 2027, no sitting President in modern history has witnessed that level of humiliating defeat.

Tinubu himself knows, and his party members are already inserting caveats like “unless he chooses not to contest” to give him heads up and subtly advise him not to contest.

This man shows that wearing a priestly robe does not equate being a good leader
He has been fighting and disagreeing with everyone and everything
Though I sympathize with him. It's never easy when you have a godfather breathing down your neck. Moreso when the godfather has access to federal power
Just ask fubara
Even Sanwo had to gather elders to go and prostrate when he was refused a handshake

What is this man doing in Benue to repose confidence in the people that voted for him? Na so so fight e dey fight with Akume.

The most confused governor in Nigeria and funny thing is that he is even a bishop.

If you don't have anything to offer, there's nothing anybody can do about it.

I sincerely pity Benue, Kogi and Kwara states..

I don't know who they offended.


😭😭😭😭😭😭

Peace has returned to Benue State
God Bless all the stakeholders
God Bless Benue State
God Bless President Bola Tinubu
God Bless Federal Republic of Nigeria

Benue voted for this dude because of his Catholic collar, to late for them they found out he's actually a demon disguised

The worst Governor in Nigeria as at today
Benue People got it wrong!!

COMRADES, sometimes I ask myself, is this man called by God to be a politician or a priest?

And what is the hand writing that the Governors are beginning to read?

Politics is bad, presidency have secretly ordered him to it or he will join Fubara train..

All I see are comments from frustrated peoples from that dead wood party and the newly formed dead on arrival party!

Alia is giving meaningful folks the dividends of democracy, i don't have to be explaining this fact to confused rascals who haven't moved on since Jonathan lost to buhari since 2015!

This former Rev. Fr. seems confused.

If not that he has been suspended by the Church, I would have advised him to go back to the pulpit and continue.

The clueless father clóówn of a governor.
Meanwhile, so Benue state doesn't have first lady?

The only state without a first Lady.

Yes father we are behind you. Continue the good work you are doing, keep taking Benue to greater heights.

Go to Benue and see for yourself. Then compare to what it was before you criticize the governor.

The ALIA you go the better 😁

Assuming "Aliacares wheelbarrow" is part of dividend of democracy, right? I really don't understand you people level of reasoning. Is it half education or lack of it?


Weeks ago, many were gruesomely murdered in the same Benue under the watch of Alia who claimed he knew the assailants but did nothing or has done nothing to bring them to book.

Be careful bro as you might be the next victim under any circumstance.

Hahaha!

If Dr Alex Oti of Abia State is your governor, you would have been rejoicing as if you are already in heaven.

May God continue to bless us with a governor like Dr Alex Oti.....Amen.


🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A failure in the waiting.
Worst than Samuel Ortom.
Clueless about Governance.
The Pope should advise him to go back to the Parish and do the Lord's work he was called to do.

when I see comments like this, I laugh at your level of ignorance honestly. If delulu was a person, because who gives you this data Jonathan will still hold the record of a humiliating defect of a sitting president. don't get it twisted
