Obi Benue Visit: NDC Never Told Me To Transmit Letter To Governor, I Provided Only Security
The state says it will back a police probe if Obi and the NDC identify the aide and provide evidence.
- The Benue State Government, led by Governor Hyacinth Alia, challenged the Nigeria Democratic Congress and Peter Obi to identify a government aide allegedly responsible for blocking Obi's convoy from accessing Yelewata.
- On Wednesday, Chief Press Secretary Tersoo Kula appeared on The Morning Show, an Arise programme, stating the government was unaware of the incident until photographs emerged online.
- Kula stressed the government supports a police investigation into the alleged obstruction, urging authorities to arrest and prosecute the individual if evidence confirms the aide's involvement.
- Addressing broader insecurity concerns, Kula stated, "What is happening in Benue State is somehow difficult to understand," while emphasizing efforts to reduce violence to the "barest minimum."
- Obi and the NDC must provide proof, Kula insisted, noting they have the ability to identify the specific aide rather than making general accusations against Alia's administration.
