Gov. Alia Lauds Benue Residents For Not Participating In Nationwide Protest
By Sunday Etuka, Abuja
Benue State Governor, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia has applauded the people of Benue, for heeding his words not to join the nationwide protest.
Alia, in a statement on Thursday by his Chief Press Secretary, Sir Tersoo Kula, particularly praised the organised labour, trade unions, civil society organisations, the youth and other groups in the state for keeping to their word not to participate in the protest.
He noted that the decision of the people to shelve the protest in the state demonstrates their firm belief in the policies of the APC-led administration in the country, saying that it was an indication that the people are willing to give the government more time to improve on their welfare.
Governor Alia equally assured the people of the State of President Bola Tinubu’s unflinching love for Benue, stating that the numerous projects embarked upon by his administration across the length and breadth of the state, are as a result of the support and cordial relationship his administration has enjoyed from the Tinubu-led federal government.
He promised to continue to do his best to provide them with good governance, insisting this is the only way he will justify the trust placed in him by the people of Benue.
He implored the people to continue to remain peaceful, going about their normal businesses throughout the period.
