The Peoples Democratic Party has tasked Governor Hyacinth Alia of Benue State to be transparent in awarding contracts and spending government’s funds.
Bemgba Iortyom, the state Publicity Secretary of the PDP, said this in a statement he issued in Makurdi on Tuesday.
Iortyom said: “PDP in Benue wishes to raise alarm that Alia has suspended constitutional rule in the state and is running the government as a dictator.
“We hereby emphasise the duty placed on all men of good conscience to rise up and resist with every lawful means this danger looming over the state.
“Yesterday Alia announced the award of contracts for the construction of 16 township roads in Makurdi the sum for which he did not disclose but which obviously runs into billions of naira, by current cost standards.”
