Some members of the National Assembly in Benue State are plotting to distabilise Governor Hyacinth Alia and to discredit the government before the whole world, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Tersoo Kula has said.
Addressing journalists in Makurdi yesterday, the CPS who described the plot as devious, informed that they only wanted to divert the attention of the Governor from carrying out the people oriented projects.
Kula argued that the governor has not sent any letter to any group contrary to the allegation that Governor Alia has sent to herdsmen to come to the state and graze freely.
“However, it would be recalled that during the burial ceremony of the late Tor Sankera at Katsina-Ala recently, His Excellency, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia made an unambiguous pronouncement that the Anti Open Grazing and Prohibiting Law of Benue State is still alive and shall be enforced fully.
“The Government of Benue State is worried that based on the already exhibited desperation of some retrogressive elements, it is possible they must have equally cooked such a nefarious communication to achieve their unholy ambition.
“The Benue State government is digging into this matter. If anything of such is discovered, the perpetrators must be assured, they will have to answer for their sins against the state.”
He called on the concerned national assembly members to avoid misinformation that are aimed at generating bad blood and creating an uprising against the government and people of the state.
It could be recalled that some national assembly members from the state late last year did a similar thing which resulted in a protest in Makurdi in support of the governor which was also on sharp contrast with the position of the affected lawmakers.
