Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, has debunked reports that he was planning to defect from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Sir Tersoo Kula, the governor described the report as “fake news” and a product of “yellow journalism,” adding that he had no intention of leaving the party under which he was elected.
His words: “We read online wherein they alleged that Governor Hyacinth Alia is plotting to leave the APC amidst the brewing crisis in the Benue APC. For the unsuspecting public, the story is not true and is typical of the yellow journalism practices by some online newspapers.
