Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia claims he never sought for the resignation of All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje.
This was contained in a press statement issued on Wednesday in Makurdi by his Chief Press Secretary, CPS, Mr Tersoo Kula.
DAILY POST reports that the CPS was reacting to some media reports that the governor has called for the resignation of the APC national chairman.
Kula said the governor at no time called for the resignation of the APC national chairman.
He said Alia enjoys a good relationship with the Ganduje-led leadership of the APC.
“It is imperative to clarify that at no point did Governor Alia assembled, attended and sent a representative or participated in any meeting to discuss the removal or call for resignation of Alhaji. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
“The Benue State governor remains firm in his support and allegiance to the leadership of the National Working Committee of the APC, under the leadership of Alhaji Ganduje.
“Furthermore, at no point, whether publicly or privately, has the governor advocated or expressed any desire for the resignation of the National party chairman,” he said.
Kula added that Alia is focused on changing the fortunes of Benue State.
“He is alive to his responsibilities as the leader of APC in Benue State and is doing everything legitimate to reposition the party for future victories,” Kula noted.
