A House of Representatives member for Kwande/Ushongo has filed a defamation lawsuit against Benue State Governor, Fr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia, seeking N1 billion in damages.
This development comes amidst criticism from lawmakers Abba Moro and Zam regarding the recent local government elections. However, supporters of Governor Alia argue that he has made a positive impact since taking office and should be allowed to continue working for the people.
Constituents are urging lawmakers to focus on development and unity, rather than distracting the governor. With eight years remaining in his term, Governor Alia’s supporters remain confident in his ability to deliver for Benue State.
