The Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia has kicked against the All Progressives Congress, APC Executive Committee Meeting scheduled to hold in the state today.
DAILY POST reports that a factional state chairman of the party, Mr. Austin Agada had summoned the Benue State Executive Committee of the APC.
But Governor Alia in a statement issued on Thursday by his Chief Press Secretary, Tersoo Kula, said he wasn’t aware of the purported meeting.
Alia called off the meeting, warning that there will be consequences if any person or group attempts to disrupt the peace of the state by converging for any unauthorised meeting.
He said, “the last time I checked, I am still the APC leader in the state. No APC meeting can be summoned without my knowledge.
“Not just that, as the Chief Security Officer in the state, I should know when a legitimate gathering is supposed to hold.
“Nigeria is not a lawless state and so is Benue state. Those who think they can undermine the authority of the state must know this and know peace.”
