The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Benue, claims that the state is descending into chaos under Governor Hyacinth Alia’s administration.
The party criticized the indefinite suspension of Kwande LGA Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Terdoo Kenti, and other members of his Executive Committee in a statement issued by its spokesperson, Bemgba Iortyom.
He labeled the behavior as an aberration that reveals Governor Hyacinth Alia’s contempt for democratic principles and leadership incapacity, under whose watch such lunacy is unfolding.
Mr Iortyom stated that the objectionable act, which was rightfully dismissed by the APC state chapter, is of no relevance.
He claimed that Mr Kenti’s suspension is part of Alia’s dictatorial inclination to undermine 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”.
