The opposition party, PDP has described the first 30 days of Governor Hyacinth Alia’s administration in Benue state as the worst since the return of democratic governance to the country in 1999.
The party said it came to the conclusion after assessing the governor’s start in office compared to his three predecessors, within the same period in view.
The PDP in a statement issued by its Publicity Secretary, Bemgba Iortyom, in Makurdi said from its assessment, Governor Alia’s credit so far has been a half-hearted attempt at payment of wages to worker.
According to the opposition party, what this means is that roughly about 70 percent of the workforce of the state went unpaid from the governor’s much hyped gesture which it is even unclear from which source he funded the exercise that has since been dismissed as a mere popularity stunt.
