Benue: Buhari’s Minister, Akume, Mike Mku clash at Tor Tiv son’s wedding
The Minister of Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Affairs, George Akume, on Thursday, refuted allegations that he “violently assaulted” the Chairman of the Board of Benue Investment and Property Company, BBIPC, Chief Mike Mku.
In a statement he personally signed, Mku said: “The report of the Minister of Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Affairs, Senator George Akume, having physically and violently assaulted me at the wedding of son to Tor Tiv, HRM Professor James Ortese Ayatse last Saturday in Makurdi, is true. “However, when he got to me and I made to shake hands with him, he abruptly shoved me violently in the chest almost knocking my over backwards.
“For what reason then should Senator Akume hold me in such contempt as to assault and humiliate me in public? Agada disclosed that Akume upon arrival went round greeting dignitaries seated including those he had political differences within the past.
