2023: APC debunks PDP’s ‘fabricated’ lies against its governorship flag bearer, Fr. Alia
By Titus Atondu, Makurdi
The Benue State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has described the fabricated stories making around the social media by supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), discrediting the governorship candidate of APC Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia in forthcoming general election as false, unfounded and baseless.
In a press statement signed by Daniel Ihyomu, APC Benue State Publicity Secretary and made available to Nigerian NewsDirect, the party teaming supporters were urged not to be moved by the desperate kicks of the People’s Democratic Party in the state which has occupied their party with the winner of the APC governorship primaries, Rev Fr Hyacinth Alia.
It should be recall that ever since joining the APC and emeeged winner of the party’s governorship primaries, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia has remained the nightmare and boogeyman of the PDP with the state chapter praying that they rather not have him on the ballot in 2023 which is the only way they can signal any hope of maintaining their grip on the state’s treasury.
The PDP and Her uncouth members have resorted to fake news and fabricated stories to misinform the public and instill doubts on the status of the APC Governorship candidate.
The statement maintained that for the avoidance of doubt, Rev. Fr Hyacinth Alia remained the winner of the APC governorship primaries in Benue state and the authentic candidate and standard-bearer of the party in the state for the 2023 Governorship election.
It further explained that it is the reality the PDP fears but must ultimately face in the end as the day of the ballot draws closer.
The Statement urged the PDP to rather concentrate on their huge and impossible task of marketing the liability it has imposed on the State Chapter of the PDP as governorship candidate which has been rejected by people of Benue state even before the ballot.
It commended the APC teaming members and supporters across the state for being resolute, unshakable and steadfast in their support for APC and Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia as a prelude to reclaiming the lost glory of their dear state and assured them that both the APC and it’s governorship candidate stand on very solid grounds in the pursuit of these objectives.
The statement urged the good People of Benue state especially members of the APC to disregard concocted stories from the PDP and consider their propaganda as the last kicks of a dying horse.]
