Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia has stated that he has no intention of defecting from the All Progressives Congress, which is currently in power.
The news that Alia was considering leaving the APC because of the conflict in the party’s Benue branch is “laughable and lame,” according to a statement made by Chief Press Secretary Tersoo Kula.
According to Kula’s Sunday statement, there is no conflict within the Benue APC and Alia’s allegiance to the party is undeniable.
According to the media aide, Alia and Benjamin Omale, the chairman of the Benue APC, get along well.
The CPS statement read, “There is no doubt about the Governor’s loyalty to the APC.
“He has been an active participant in the affairs of the party, including the recent endorsement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the APC’s sole candidate ahead of the 2027 presidential elections.
“His presence at both the zonal event and the national event held at the banquet hall in the villa contradicts the false narrative being peddled by this medium of a strained relationship with the Presidency.
“Again, the APC leadership in the state is in no crisis as claimed in the unfounded report.
“The party under the chairmanship of Hon. Benjamin Omale has a super working relationship with the governor, and has been performing its functions effectively, both at the state and national level, as seen recently during the APC Summit in Abuja.”
