‘No APC Meeting Can Be Summoned Without My Knowledge’ – Gov Alia Stops Party From Meeting In Benue

The Governor of Benue State, Hyacinth Alia, on Thursday, prevented a meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) State Executive Committee (SEC) from holding in the state.

The Governor declared that as the leader of the APC in the state, he wasn’t aware of any meeting.

Alia added that as the Chief Security Officer of the state, no legitimate meeting can hold without his consent and approval.

Naija News reports the position of the Governor comes as a direct reaction to the SEC meeting of the Benue APC announced by the former chairman of the party, Austin Agada.

Governor Alia warned that the said meeting can’t go ahead, adding that there would 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.”
