Three different hand writings on the same letter..hum

lol…benue people really like that ‘hyacinth’ name…it’s very common

Urgent1Million:
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.

What's with these Benue-trough neanderthals and a love for water hyacinth

Reverend Father Politician Hyacinth Alia ba? Only in Nigeria. The more you look, the less you see.

There used to be a Country.

Buharidgeneral:
Which kain letter is this. Can it be typed and printed

Please, forgive him , it's an impromptu decision...

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

You'd think Benue people hit a jackpot when they elected the Reverend Father. He knows little to nothing when it comes to properly managing a State as complex as Benue State.
The fact that insecurity has relentlessly bedevilled and balkanized that state, with countless cases of murder and communal clashes, shows that the Reverend Gentleman wasn't the Eldorado Benue people hoped for.

His Enemies have gone to light fire, so he should just stand there & watch abi?

Mr Man, politics is a very dirty game, no honor amongst thieves.

very funny, Reverend Father politician can become a Governor of a state, but you cannot, & u are purportedly mocking him?

Buharidgeneral:

That is more authentic and for security reasons before someone may change it. Politicians!

lincs25:
The least developed state in Nigeria is Benue State, instead of the leaders to focus on developmental projects and programs they are busy fighting for supremacy.

He couldn't even spell opportunity and colleague

The insecurity is caused by same Benue people if you could remember the Governor said it .
There's someone in Benue state that doesn't want the state to progress

Na him come dey in the middle of the mess, he can no longer continue with the ups and downs of the two mumus ...

Then expose the person with evidence, how's engaging in unsupported hearsay helping his people?

Mr Man, politics is a very dirty game, no honor amongst thieves.

He should be above that, he was a padre for Christ's sake. Why roll in the mud with pigs?

Ever8090:
say what you know, that man is doing his best in that state and one of his problem is the SGF and some aggrieved politicians who believed that the governor should continue with the pattern of leadership that has been going on in the state " share the state resources among the elites"...90 percent of rich men in the state are politicians

What is the best that he's doing exactly? Insecurity definitely has not improved

derico:
The letter has the typical red signature but no stamp/seal of office.

This isn't the first time we are getting redacted letters this year.
I won't be surprised if tomorrow, the coast clears, and he denies the letter.

It's like the coast did not clear o.

His brother has been declared dead today.

1+1 =2

derico:
That's not how politics and governance works.

You need a loyal team that follows your lead and accountable to you.

Wasn't that what Fubara wanted to do in Rivers State... but we all know how the matter ended.

why play the game of politics if u don’t intend to play dirty?
