I have no plans to leave APC – Governor Alia

The governor of Benue state, Hyacinth Alia has said that as the leader of the All Progressive Congress in the state, he has no plans to leave the party.

Governor Alia’s denial was in response to an online report that he had concluded plans to dump the APC for another party.

But in a rebuttal, the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Tersoo Kula in a statement on Sunday described the report as “fake news” and “yellow journalism,” noting that Governor Alia remains firmly committed to the APC.

He stressed that at a time when opposition governors are joining the ruling party due to its strong policies and achievements under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, claims of Alia’s defection are baseless and laughable.

Parts of the statement read: “There is no doubt about the Governor’s loyalty to the APC. He has been an active participant in the affairs of the party, including the recent endorsement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the APC sole candidate ahead of the 2027 presidential elections. His presence at both the zonal event and national held at the banquet hall in the villa contradicts the false narrative being peddled by this medium of a strained relationship with the Presidency.

“Again, the APC leadership in the State is in no crisis as claimed in the unfounded report. The party under the chairmanship of Hon. Benjamin Omale, has a super working relationship with the Governor, and has been performing its functions effectively, both at the State and national level, as was seen recently during the APC Summit in Abuja.

“It is appalling and disappointing how a medium could blatantly publish lies to cast doubts on the attendance of a personality like a state governor in an occasion he attended along with his colleagues with full media coverage.

“We urge readers and the general public to yet again, disregard this fake news report and to always rely on credible sources of information rather than fake information mediums.

“The Governor has no plans to defect from the APC, especially as Benue State stands to benefit more under the party and the Tinubu led presidency. He will continue to deliver good governance to the people of the Benue State on the APC platform they elected him.”
