Benue’s Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, claims that under Governor Hyacinth Alia’s present administration, the state is devolving into chaos.
The party, represented by Bemgba Iortyom, its spokesperson, denounced Terdoo Kenti, the Kwande LGA Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and other members of his Executive Committee’s indefinite suspension.
He called the behavior an anomaly that shows Governor Hyacinth Alia’s contempt for democratic principles and his lack of leadership ability, which is causing this folly to come apart.
Mr Iortyom said the obnoxious act which has been appropriately dismissed by the state chapter of the APC is of no consequence.
He said the suspension of Mr Kenti is part of the dictatorial tendency of Alia to subvert constitutional order in the state.
Mr Iortyom said, “PDP observes that while the bizarre suspension order by Revd. Fr. Hule in Kwande is shocking, it apes precisely the lawless style of his master, the governor, in Makurdi, and the party regrets that this serves to fuel the growing impression that Catholic priests by their command and authoritarian orientation are unsuitable to political leadership under our liberal democratic setting”.
