Benue State government has debunked speculations making the round on social media on the alleged plot by Governor Hyacinth Alia to impeach the Speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly, Hyacinth Dajoh.
The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Tersoo Kula, in a Statement on Friday, said the governor was not aware of, and has no involvement whatsoever in, any purported attempt to remove the Speaker or in any activities currently taking place in the Benue State House of Assembly.
According to the spokesman, “the Governor holds the legislature in the highest esteem and maintains unwavering respect for the rule of law as well as the principle of separation of powers among the three arms of government.
“The Governor has consistently responded to communications and resolutions transmitted to him by the House. This commitment was demonstrated only a few days ago when he promptly upheld and implemented critical resolutions of the Assembly conveyed to his office.”
He added, “Governor Alia had continue to enjoy a cordial and productive working relationship with the Dajoh led Assembly, and remains committed to supporting it in the discharge of its legislative duties for the overall development of Benue State.”
