Senate Minority Leader and Senator representing Benue South, Abba Moro, has criticised Governor Hyacinth Alia’s style of governance, alleging that decision-making in Benue State is concentrated in the governor’s hands.
Moro made the remarks on Tuesday while speaking on Democracy Today, a programme aired on African Independent Television (AIT), where he assessed the performance of the Benue State government.
The lawmaker claimed that commissioners and other political appointees have been stripped of meaningful responsibilities because key decisions are handled exclusively by the governor.
“If these people are angry with him, if people are not happy with him, as a leader, it is his duty to call people and say, ‘Look, this is our state. Let’s build it together,’” Moro said.
He continued: “People look at Benue State as a church, as a pulpit where instructions come from only one person.”
Moro also alleged that Governor Alia has taken over duties
