Use security vote to fight insecurity – Benue PDP urges Alia

Benue State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has called on Governor Hyacinth Alia to use the state’s security votes to fight insecurity.

The Publicity Secretary of the party in the state, Bemgba Iortyom made the call in a statement in Makurdi on Sunday.

He said it became imperative to urge the state government to invest in securing the lives of citizens following repeated attacks in rural communities by armed invaders in recent times.

According to him, the PDP also mourned victims of recent attacks by armed invaders in some parts of the state which left scores dead, others injured, and property of yet-to-be-determined value destroyed.

The party emphasized the need for Alia’s administration to comply with the resolution of the Nigerian Senate, urging him to use his security votes to address insecurity.
