The Benue state government, Wednesday, condemned recent protests and misinformation campaigns against the state, describing them as orchestrated attempts to destabilize the state and undermine the administration of Governor Hyacinth Alia.
According to the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Sir Tersoo Kula, the protests were not organic expressions of public sentiment but rather calculated attempts by disgruntled elements to settle personal scores and advance a malicious agenda.
Kula who spoke at a press conference in Government House, stated that the individuals behind the protests are driven by a desperate desire to paint Benue state in the worst possible light, with the ultimate goal of creating an environment of chaos and instability that they can exploit for their own selfish gain.
He also expressed concern over the blatant attempts to weaponise the legal profession in the campaign of deceit, including the use of ex-convicts and individuals masquerading as lawyers.
He assured the public that Benue State is safe and secure, with all arms of government functioning smoothly.
“Governor Alia is diligently delivering on his mandate, and the state is making significant strides in addressing the challenges it faces.
