Governor Hyacinth Alia of Benue State asserted that anyone discontent with his leadership should vacate the state, emphasizing that he is the sole governor in Benue State and deserves respect for his authority.
He made these statements during the burial of the late royal figure, Zaki Toko Zumbe, Tor Kule Kule, Mbangur, Mbadede, in Vandeikya Local Government Area on Tuesday.
According to Alia: “I am standing here in this gathering to declare today that you do not have two governors in the state at a time.
“I am the only governor, and there are no two governors in the state. No one should undermine me.
“I want the entire Tiv nation to hear this: anyone that comes to say things should know that I am the only governor from Kunav land.
“Therefore, if anyone is not happy that I am the governor, he or she can leave Kunav land or Tiv land as a whole.”
