Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, on Friday said that he had no involvement in the failed attempt to impeach the Speaker of the State Assembly, Hon. Hyacinth Dajo.
In a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Kula Tersoo, a copy of which was made available to journalists in Makurdi on Friday, the governor emphasised that he maintains a cordial relationship with the House of Assembly.
According to the statement, “Governor Hyacinth Alia is not aware of, and has no involvement whatsoever in, any purported attempt to remove the Speaker or in any activities currently taking place in the Benue State House of Assembly.”
Governor Alia stated that he holds the legislature in the highest esteem and maintains unwavering respect for the rule of law, as well as the principle of separation of powers among the three arms of government. He added that he has consistently responded to communications and resolutions transmitted to him by the House.
The governor reiterated his commitment to the principles of law, which he said was demonstrated only a few days ago when he promptly upheld and implemented critical resolutions of the Assembly conveyed to his office.
He further stated that he continues to enjoy a cordial and productive working relationship with the Dajo-led Assembly and remains committed to supporting the House in the discharge of its legislative duties for the overall development of Benue State.
