BREAKING: Gov Alia breaks silence on leaked audio, disowns Moses Ternenge

IDOMA VOICE reports that Benue State Governor, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, has reacted to a leaked audio making the rounds on social media.

A recently leaked audio recording has caused widespread outrage in Benue State, Nigeria. In the recording, a certain close ally of Alia, Moses Ternenge, a political figure in the state, is heard boasting of his power and influence to control and fix decisions of courts in Nigeria.

Reacting, Gov Alia through his Chief Press Secretary, Tersoo Kula disowned Ternenge.

The governor said Ternengeis just a partyman like every other person and he’s entitled to his opinion.

The statement reads below.

“This is to clarify some misrepresentations, insinuations and skewed commentaries making the rounds in the media as it borders on the Executive Governor of Benue State, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia.

“We have carefully listened to a certain leaked voice recording making the rounds which has unfortunately served as the basis for the distortions and wish to hereby state as follows:

“That Mr. Moses Ternenge is neither an aide nor appointee of the Alia led administration. He is an indigene of the state and APC party man, just like any other person that may be seen around the Governor.

‘Moses Ternenge has never been appointed by His Excellency, Rev. Fr. Alia, officially or unofficially to represent or negotiate anything, anywhere for any purpose whatsoever on behalf of the Governor or the state.

“That as an adult that he is, Moses Ternenge is responsible for any action he takes. Such actions and utterances are not a representation of the principles and vision of Governor Hyacinth Alia.

“That Mr. Moses Ternenge, like any other citizen is free to share in the vision or principles of the Reverend gentleman governing Benue State. Where he chooses to go differently, he should be criticised or assessed based on what he represents or stands for.

“But pretentiously painting a picture that he is an aide and represents His Excellency, Rev. Fr. Alia is most preposterous and repulsive.

“That Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia has come with a very clear vision, and a fecund package to reposition Benue and restore her lost glories.

“That he has already started on a sound note. He is fiercely focused about the prospect of a New Benue. Genuine lovers of the state have already started pointing out positive signals that a “Benue of Our Dreams” will soon be here.

“Therefore, the outbursts of Mr. Moses should not mislead neither the opposition or all the teaming supporters of His Excellency into believing that he has derailed as he has a well Marshalled programme for the overall development of the state. His Excellency deserves better.”
