All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Benue State, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, has, again, appealed to aggrieved members of the party to sheathe their swords and reconcile in the interest of the party.
While the party was flagging off its campaigns in Gboko, yesterday, the Catholic priest extended the olive branch to his aggrieved co-contestants and urged them to “come back home.”
While most of the political parties launched their campaigns in Makurdi, the state capital, the APC opted for the playground of NKST Primary School, Genyi, Gboko Local Council.
No fewer than three governorship aspirants are locked in a legal tussle challenging Alia’s emergence as the party’s flagbearer.
Minister of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs, Sen. George Akume, at the occasion, called on the people to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to enable them vote, adding that without PVC, their support would amount to nothing.
