The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Benue State has knocked Governor Hyacinth Alia for the escalating insecurity in the state. The PDP said criminal elements are leveraging the incompetence of the governor to carry out their nefarious activities. This was contained in a statement distributed to journalists on Monday in Makurdi by the Publicity Secretary
of the party, Mr Bemgba Iortyom. In the statement, Iortyom said, 'PDP notes with much sadness that, as a consequence, no day passes in Benue currently without one act of terror or another against the people by either Fulani herdsmen or bandits, resulting in deaths, destruction, hunger and deepening impoverishment of ordinary citizens.
'After over four months in office, Governor Alia is yet to appoint a Security Adviser and the signs are evident of incompetence and an absence of professionalism in the handling of security issues under his administration 'We recall that the governor had openly confessed to knowing and having a pact with bandits in the state whom he fondly referred to as 'my brothers in the bush'.
