The Nation Newspaper Opposition members defect to APC in Benue
The defections took place in Katsina Ala and Adikpo, during the commencement of Governor Hyacinth Alia’s state-wide thank you tour to greet the people for their unwavering support, which saw him emerge victorious in the last general elections.
He expressed concern that Sankera, which is the hub for yam production in the country, was greatly hit by the attacks from the armed bandits. While dismissing widespread reports that he had borrowed huge sums of money from foreign financial institutions to execute infrastructural projects in the state, the Governor announced the award of a contract for the construction of the Sankera-Chito-Vaase road, to help checkmate the worsening insecurity situation bedeviling the area.
Biam hinted that the Alia administration will also touch the stomach infrastructure programme after critical projects might have been attended to, to enable the people have the feel of government. He commended the chairman of the local government for lighting up Adikpo town within few days in office, but lamented the insecurity situation in the local government especially the armed herdsmen attacks and the illegal mining activities, and tasked traditional rulers to rise up by ensuring that anyone caught is made to face the full wrath of the law.
