Governor Hyacinth Alia of Benue State has declared that those unhappy with him should leave the state.

Alia declared that he is the only governor in Benue State, hence nobody should attempt to undermine his authority.

He spoke during the burial of the late royal father, Zaki Toko Zumbe, Tor Kule Kule, Mbangur, Mbadede, in Vandeikya Local Government Area of the state on Tuesday.

According to Alia: “I am standing here in this gathering to declare today that you do not have two governors in the state at a time.

“I am the only governor, and there are no two governors in the state. No one should undermine me.

“I want the entire Tiv nation to hear this: anyone that comes to say things should know that I am the only governor from Kunav land.

“Therefore, if anyone is not happy that I am the governor, he or she can leave Kunav land or Tiv land as a whole.”
