Published

on

Governor Hyacinth Alia has directed all political appointees in his administration who plan to contest in the 2027 general elections to resign on or before March 30, 2026.

The directive, according to a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Tersoo Kula, is aimed at sustaining the pace of development in the state and preventing governance from being slowed by political ambitions.

Alia explained that early resignation by affected appointees would allow his administration to quickly fill any vacant positions and ensure continuity in governance.

“The earlier those who want to resign tender their resignation letters, the better, as it will give me a clear direction to get other hands that will fill the position for continuation,” he said.

The governor stressed his commitment to delivering on his development agenda, noting that his administration remains focused on improving infrastructure and public service delivery.

He called on well-meaning citizens to support his administration’s efforts to reposition the state, saying collective commitment was necessary to achieve sustainable progress.

“I invite all people of good conscience to join hands with me so that we can make Benue a place that attracts everybody,” he added.

Reaffirming his resolve, the governor said he would not be distracted from fulfilling his mandate to the people of the state.

“I have started; I am midway, and I am more determined to do more because that was my covenant with the Benue people.

“I cannot tender apologies to anyone because I am developing Benue State.

My covenant was with the people of Benue State. My attention is on how to make them happy, how to rewrite the story of the state for good. Therefore, nothing can deter me; nobody can frustrate me to abandon this,” he vowed.
