Gov Alia stops APC SEC meeting in Benue
The governor of Benue state Hyacinth Alia, on Thursday, stopped a meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) State Executive Committee (SEC) from holding in the state.
He declared that as the leader of the APC in the state, he was not informed about the meeting.
Alia who spoke at a press briefing at the Government House in Makurdi, called off the meeting, warning that there will be consequences if any individual or group attempts to disrupt the peace of the state by converging for any unauthorised meeting.
He added that as the Chief Security Officer of the state, no legitimate meeting can hold without his consent and approval
“The last time I checked, I am still the APC leader in the state. No APC meeting can be summoned without my knowledge.
“Not just that, as the Chief Security Officer in the state, I should know when a legitimate gathering is supposed to hold.
“Nigeria is not a lawless state and so is Benue state”.
“Those who think they can undermine the authority of the state must know this and know peace”, Alia said during the press briefing.
