ALIA TO THE RESCUE OF BENUE, ALIA ALLIANCE ASSURES

 


 

By V.C.Collins


 Alia Alliance World Wide, a support group of the guber-candidacy of Hycinth Alia of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Benue state has described their candidate as an idea whose time has come to rescue Benue from the pangs of mal-administration of state.

 

Whilst speaking with our reporter in Abuja over the weekend at a victory party organized by the Alia Alliance for Alia’s court victory, the Secretary-General of Alia Alliance World Wide, Kelvins Dzereamo said the verdict of the federal high court in Abuja which struck out a suit seeking the nullification of the candidacy of Hyacinth Alia of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Benue, was an indication of good things to come to Benue.

Dzereamo re-emphasized that Rev.Fr Alia has the requisite background to pull Benue out of the woods to the promised land given his training as a public administrator and a priest.

In addition, the convener of the Alia Alliance World Wide group, Kenneth Gyado re-echoed that there was no better time than now for the emergence of Father Alia as Governor of Benue state.

He decried how Benue has been in the backwaters of development, but was hopeful that Alia’s victory at the polls in 2023 will engender massive economic development to turn around the fortunes of the people of Benue like the Father Adasu administration of Benue in 1992. 

Gyado called on the Benue electorate to work with like minds for the emancipation of the people. 


The APC in Benue had opted to pick its governorship candidate through direct primary.

Alia had polled over 7,000 votes to win the party's ticket on May 27.


He contested the party’s ticket with Barnabas Gemade, a former national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Mike Aondoakaa, a former attorney-general of the federation ,AGF. Dissatisfied with the outcome, Aondoakaa filed a suit before the court challenging the primary outcome.

 

Delivering judgment on Thursday December 1, 2022, Ahmed Mohammed, the presiding judge, dispensed that though the suit was a pre-election matter, it was out of time, since it was filed on June 10.

  By Kunle Awoniyi Human Right Writers Association of Nigeria ,HURIWA  has called on President Buhari to desist from deploying security assets to monitor grape vine gossips. This is coming on the heels of the action of  the wife of the president on the detention of an undergraduate of the Federal University,Dutse,Jigawa,Aminu Adamu as abuse of power and absolutely unconstitutional. The right's group has decried the arrest and demanded the immediate and unconditional release from arbitrary arrest and unlawful detention of Aminu Adamu who was arrested on the orders of the wife of President mohammadu Buhari.

Although he did not disclose the names of those involved, El-Rufai said that those working against Tinubu were aggrieved that Tinubu defeated their candidate in the APC presidential primaries, and that these elements were hiding behind President Muhammadu Buhari’s desire to do what he thought was right. El-Rufai made the revelation while speaking on Channels TV's programme on Wednesday.
