Governor Hyacinth Alia has given March 30, 2026 as a deadline for appointees of his administration who are eyeing elective positions in the forthcoming general elections to resign from their position.
He said he is determined to maintain the tempo of development in the state and would not want anyone to delay any process that will give results to that effect.
The Governor dropped this hint last Wednesday while addressing the Muslim faithful he hosted to an Iftar (breaking of fast) at the New Banquet Hall of Government House, Makurdi.
He said the earlier those who want to resign tender the resignation letters, the better as it will give him a clear direction to get other hands that will fill the position for continuation.
Emphasizing the need for all people of genuine mind for development to join hands with him to sustain the tempo of development of the state, the Governor stated that, “I invite all people of good conscience to join hands with me so that we can make Benue a place that attracts everybody”.
“When you see earthmoving machines working on our hitherto dilapidated roads, that is development. When you see civil servants going to work and closing happily, that is development.
“I have started, I am midway and I am more determined to do more because that was my covenant with the Benue people. I cannot tender apologies to anyone because I am developing Benue state.
“My covenant was with the people of Benue State. My attention is on how to make them happy. How to rewrite the story of the state for good
Therefore, nothing can deter me; nobody can frustrate me to abandon this”, he vowed.
