BENUE State governor-elect, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, on Monday inaugurated subcommittees of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for his swearing-in ceremony on May 29, 2023 with a charge on members to be focused and swing into action with immediate effect to produce result.
Fr. Alia who urged the committees to regard themselves “as the finest” of the APC however told other members not chosen to be part of the committees not to feel unconsidered and undermined because all of them cannot be engaged for a single function of the party
He expressed optimism that the outgoing administration will make it a smooth sail for the transition.
“For you, the inauguration team, I’m very confident that within the span of under 20 days, you will put yourselves together and give the rest of us a good direction of what happens on the 29th.
“Remember, this is not about me, this is not about you, it is about the good people of Benue State, seeing this opportunity as a leverage for you to serve further. You are invited to serve in trust and in trust, you will serve the state transparently,” Alia charged subcommittees.
The committees presented by deputy governor-elect, Sam Ode, for inauguration include logistic committee, contract mobilisation committee, media and publicity committee, medical committee, accommodation committee, transport committee and security committee.
Responding on behalf of the various subcommittees, Prof. Eugene Aliegba, who promised to put in their best said, they were proud to serve Benue in the capacity at a time the state “needs clean, good and progressive minds to move it forward”.
In his remark, APC State Chairman, Comrade Austine Agada, appreciated Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia for accepting the will of Benue people to serve them come May 29, 2023 and assured that the APC will continue to support Alia/Ode’s administration to succeed.
