A concerned constituent of Ado, Ogbadibo, Okpokwu Federal Constituency, Hon Ikwumonu Agbo, has strongly condemned the recent verbal attack on Benue State Governor, Rev. Fr. Dr. Hyacinth Alia, by Hon. Philip Agbese, a member of the House of Representatives.

Agbo described Agbese’s statement, where he called the governor “deaf and dumb,” as disrespectful and urged well-meaning citizens of Benue State to disassociate themselves from such insults.

Instead, Agbo praised Governor Alia’s administration for its numerous achievements, including prompt payment of salaries, clearing of retirees’ pensions and gratuities, and initiatives like the Benue State Agricultural Revolution and the Benue State Development Fund.

He noted that the governor’s focus on policies and actions that attract investments, create jobs, and drive economic growth has earned him commendation and respect, not insults.

Agbo emphasized that Governor Alia’s administration has made significant strides in development, infrastructure, and welfare of citizens, and that the people of Ado, Ogbadibo, Okpokwu Federal Constituency are solidly behind him. He highlighted the governor’s groundbreaking initiatives, such as “No Woman, No Nation” and “Alia Cares,” aimed at lifting women from poverty and fostering a harmonious environment in the state.

The constituent urged Benue elites to support the governor’s genuine efforts towards development, rather than resorting to insults and character assassination. He called on the people of Benue State to rally behind Governor Alia and his administration, as they work towards a brighter future for the state.

In a statement, Agbo said, “I am compelled to speak out against the unwarranted attack on our governor, who has demonstrated exceptional leadership and commitment to the development of Benue State. Governor Alia’s achievements are evident, and his dedication to the welfare of citizens is unwavering.”

Agbo’s statement comes as a response to Agbese’s recent outburst, which has been widely condemned by stakeholders in the state. The constituent’s praise for Governor Alia’s administration is a testament to the governor’s popularity and acceptance among the people of Benue State.

As the debate continues, one thing is clear: Governor Alia’s administration has made a significant impact on the lives of Benue citizens, and his efforts deserve recognition and support, not insults and criticism.
