Sh*ckwaves In Benue! Governor Alia Breaks Silence On APC Exit Rumors

Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, has debunked rumours claiming he intends to defect from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

In a statement released on Sunday by his Chief Press Secretary, Sir Tersoo Kula, Governor Alia dismissed the speculation as baseless and branded it as fake news.

He further refuted claims of internal conflict within the APC in Benue, insisting that the party, under the leadership of Benjamin Omale, maintains a harmonious and productive relationship with his administration.

Reaffirming his strong commitment to the APC, Alia emphasized that he has no plans to abandon the ruling party—particularly at a time when even opposition governors are joining it in response to the performance and policies of President Bola Tinubu.

The statement read:
“We came across an online report alleging that Governor Hyacinth Alia is plotting to leave the APC amid an alleged crisis in the party’s Benue chapter. For the record, this is entirely false and yet another example of sensationalist journalism by some online platforms.

“At a time when opposition governors are embracing the APC thanks to its policy direction and achievements under President Tinubu, it is laughable to suggest that Governor Alia is considering leaving the party he actively supports in Benue.

“There is no crisis in the APC leadership in Benue. The party remains fully functional and effective, both at the state and national levels, as clearly demonstrated during the recent APC Summit in Abuja.”
