In a twist of events in the long standing power tussle in the Benue State APC, the Speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon Hyacinth Aondona Dajoh has resigned.
In a handwritten letter dated 24th August 2025 and addressed to the clerk of the house, the speaker stated that his resignation was "done in good faith and in the best interest of the state."
Recall that there has been an ongoing power tussle between the incumbent governor of the state, Rev Fr Hyacinth Alia and a former governor, now Secretary to the government of the federation, George Akume, over the control of the state APC structure.
The governor and his erstwhile political benefactor reportedly made peace to the celebration of supporters.
However, those close to both politicians allege that the power tussle is far from over, as the governor recently dissolved his entire cabinet and is in the process of constituting a new one, allegedly devoid of inputs and nominations/imposition by the SGF.
The speaker's resignation comes amid rumours that he was being pressured to resign his position as part of a larger power realignment arrangement.
However, some sources within the government house mentioned that the rejection of a commissioner nominee who was reportedly nominated by a powerful kingmaker in the state may be the final straw that broke the camel's back.
The commissioner nominee, a lecture in the state university's law department, is allegedly notorious for victimizing students for no just reason.
This led to series of petitions against him by former students, some of who couldn't graduate for offences as little as misspelling the lecturer's name.

Instead of Alia to focus on governance and tackle insecurity in his state, he's battling for supremacy everywhere
