Alia’s aide tackles Kwankwaso for meddling in Benue rift

Benue Governor Hyacinth Alia's aide has criticised Rabiu Kwankwaso for his comments on the governor's rift with Secretary to the Government of the Federation George Akume. According to the Punch, the aide urged Kwankwaso to focus on Kano State.

The governor's aide, Sir Tersoo Kula, also responded to comments made by former APC State Chairman Austin Agada, who said he had no reason to support Governor Alia's re-election bid in 2027. Kula stated that Agada's disagreement with the governor was a personal position and not representative of the entire Benue APC.

Kula questioned the basis of Agada's grievances, alleging that the former chairman had previously sought contracts, political appointments, party finances, and other concessions from the administration. He also referenced allegations surrounding the management of campaign and party funds during Agada's tenure as chairman, but did not provide supporting documents.
