The Governor of Benue State, Hyacinth Alia has disassociated himself from the failed impeachment of the Speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly, Aondona Dajoh.
Alia said this in a statement issued late Friday in Makurdi by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Tersoo Kula.
Recall that some members of the state assembly, who have now been suspended, attempted to impeach Speaker Dajoh on Thursday.
According to the statement, Alia reiterated his respect for the rule of law and the principle of separation of powers, affirming that he held the Assembly in high esteem.
The statement also emphasised that the governor had consistently responded to all communications and resolutions sent to him by the House.
“This commitment was demonstrated only a few days ago when he promptly upheld and implemented critical resolutions of the Assembly conveyed to his office,” the statement noted.
Alia reaffirmed his cordial working relationship with the Dajoh-led Assembly and pledged continued support for its legislative duties in the interest of Benue State’s development.
