Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Benue State Governor, Rev Fr Hyacinth Alia has denied knowledge of the All Progressives Congress, APC State Executive Committee, SEC, meeting allegedly announced by the former state chairman of the party, Mr Austin Agada.<\/p>\n

Recall that there were publications on the cyberspace to the effect that a meeting of the SEC of the Benue APC is summoned to hold Thursday, in Makurdi.<\/p>\n

This was contained in a statement on Thursday by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Tersoo Kula.<\/p>\n

Sir Kula said that Gov Alia has therefore called off the purported meeting, warning that there will be consequences if any person or group attempts to disrupt the peace of the state by converging for any unauthorised meeting.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cThe last time I checked, I am still the APC leader in the state. No APC meeting can be summoned without my knowledge.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot just that, as the Chief Security Officer in the state, I should know when a legitimate gathering is supposed to hold.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigeria is not a lawless state and so is Benue State.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who think they can undermine the authority of the state must know this and know peace.\u201d<\/p>\n
