Benue State Governor, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, on Friday, asked his predecessors to refrain from interfering in his administration, saying they already had their term.
The governor gave the warning while briefing journalists in Makurdi on his return from the United States of America.
The governor stated that he would not allow anyone to destabilize his administration.
He said, “I can’t allow anyone whether a former governor or Civil Servant. If you are a former governor and you have nothing to contribute to Benue, shut up. You had your term you went through it, and allowed the administration to work.
“You did your part and if you are in the state know exactly what you are saying. Criticisms are welcomed but verify your facts.
“If you have served your tenure, you cannot stay by the side and destabilize this government,” he said.
