A report by New Telegraph indicates that the Governor of Benue State, Hyacinth Alia, might be heading to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
According to the report, Governor Alia is in deep talks with some leaders of the PDP for a possible defection as he is no longer sure of the APC ticket.
Only two days ago, the Governor came down hard on the Benue APC Zonal Vice Chairmen who had criticized him for not carrying anyone along in decision-making.
In a statement, his Chief Press Secretary, Tersoo Kula, said it was uncharitable of the party stakeholders to expect the Governor to always consult them before making appointments and taking other actions.
Part of the statement read: “The three-man forerunner team further suggests that the Governor favours people outside the APC who allegedly worked against him during electioneering and voting phases.
“This appears more like petty resentments drawn from psychotic imagination, lacking any substantive basis.”
The report noted that in the coming days, Governor Alia will hold more talks with some PDP leaders who promise to give him the party’s platform and structures if he defects from APC.
It added that t the Benue Governor held a Zoom meeting with the PDP stalwarts, notably former National Chairman of the party, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, Senator David Mark, and Senator Gabriel Suswam, among others, last week.
That would be a great move for the governor.
Really
Lets see what happens in the coming days.
That would be a wrong move, you guys knew what happens during Orton.
