The All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate in Benue state, Rev. Fr Dr Hyacinth Alia, said on Wednesday that his foray into the political space of the state was borne out of the wish for collective effort to rescue the state from the maladministration of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.
Dr Alia said his ambition to govern Benue state was more of struggle than politics, adding it was “more of a movement than contest.”
Rev. Alia, who spoke on Wednesday at the flag off of governorship campaign in Gboko, Benue state, pleaded with the people of Benue to team up with him “to rescue the soul of our dear state, Benue, from the abyss of gross maladministration as perpetrated by this PDP government.”
