The Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, has given March 30 as the deadline for his appointees seeking elective positions in the 2027 general elections to resign from their positions.
Alia’s directive was conveyed in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Tersoo Kula, and made available to journalists in Makurdi, the state capital, on Friday.
The governor expressed his administration’s determination to maintain the tempo of development in the state, adding that he would not want anyone to delay any process that would yield results in that regard.
He emphasised that the earlier those who intend to resign tender their resignation letters, the better, as it would give him a clear direction to appoint replacements to ensure continuity.
