His attack on the present and previous administrations in the state smacks of hypocrisy, mischief and crass ignorance of what development entails.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe challenge Alia to publish his track record of achievements qualifying him to seek the office of Governor. Becoming a Governor takes more than merely dancing to the vulgar songs of party supporters who insult opponents daily on the streets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere is a man who does not have any evidence of development in all the places where he worked as a priest before his suspension by the Church. If he could not bring growth to any of the Churches where he served, how can he develop a large entity like the state?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThousands of Benue people have been displaced as a result of flooding and herdsmen attacks, but Alia who claims to love the people and \u201cwants to liberate them\u201d has never visited any of the IDP camps to support and pray for the victims. Service to the people does not only happen when a man becomes a Governor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn aspirant whose name is not found in the register of the party he claims to be flying its flag needs to be bothered about the web of controversies surrounding his emergence, more than what the previous governments did and what the next Governor of the state plans to do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe belligerent and purported APC candidate ought to face his plethora of legal battles arising from the yahoo yahoo primaries conducted by the party which produced him, yet, as a dubious character, he openly hailed the process as transparent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe renegade priest should go and contend with the numerous court cases confronting him. His self-appointed role as a latter day critic is not only preposterous but also amounts to a pretentious posture which negates reason. He is the first and so far the only Nigerian who is said to be a political party candidate but has been vehemently resisted and rejected by all other aspirants and many members of the party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBenue people are already weary of Alia\u2019s undercover deals with vested powerful interests outside the state to trade the people for a pot of porridge and his cravings for material wealth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGovernor Ortom and the former Benue Governors (except one) had no hand in the blunders and willful disregard for due process that characterized the APC primaries in which Alia was a mismatched beneficiary\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After being accused of corruption by the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship candidate in the State, Hyacinth Alia, Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has reacted.
