  "summary": "Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia's Chief Press Secretary, Sir Tersoo Kula, has rebuked former Kano State Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso for his recent comments regarding Alia and the people of Benue. Kula described Kwankwaso's remarks as an \"unfortunate and unwarranted insult\" that detracts from constructive political discourse. The governor's aide attributed Kwankwaso's grievances to the controversy surrounding Peter Obi's visit to Benue, alleging that the former Kano governor falsely accused Alia of disrupting the visit. Kula defended Alia's electoral mandate, emphasizing that the governor was elected by the people of Benue State and deserved respect regardless of political differences. He advised Kwankwaso to focus on the political challenges facing his party in Kano rather than interfering in Benue's internal affairs or commenting on the relationship between Alia and Senator George Akume.",
