A brewing storm in Benue State’s political landscape has come to a head, with the Benue State National Assembly Caucus accusing Governor Hyacinth Alia of rebuffing President Bola Tinubu’s peace initiatives aimed at reconciling him with Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume.
The Caucus, comprising federal lawmakers from Benue State, on Thursday, alleged that Governor Alia has consistently disregarded efforts to resolve the lingering feud between him and the SGF, which has divided the state’s All Progressives Congress (APC) chapter.
However, Governor Alia’s media aide, Solomon Iorpev, countered the accusations, challenging the federal lawmakers to produce evidence of the governor’s invitation to the peace parley. Iorpev asserted that the governor had not received such an invitation.
