Accusations of destabilizing the administration of Governor Fr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia have surfaced, pointing fingers at the National Assembly in Abuja. Sen. Aba Moro, connected to the caretaker committee system in Benue state, has denounced the dissolution of former elected Local Government Councils by the Benue State House of Assembly as a major contributor to the escalating insecurity in the region.
In response to these allegations, the government of Benue state has taken a proactive stance and initiated discussions with Sen. Moro to delve deeper into the underlying causes of the insecurity plaguing the state. Furthermore, Hon. Philip Agbese has come under scrutiny for allegedly falsifying information regarding security votes allocated to the state, refuting claims that the figures ever reached the sum of N1 billion to N3 billion during Alia’s tenure.
Adding to the complexity of the situation, a controversial directive urging herdsmen to return to Benue for open grazing has brought about a call for investigation by the state government to ascertain the authenticity and implications of such a communication.
Amidst the turmoil, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has received accolades for his unwavering support towards Governor Alia in fulfilling his commitments to the people of Benue state. The coming days are anticipated to be critical as the state navigates through these turbulent waters of politics and security challenges.
