Senator Abba Moro Writes Ministry of Finance, insists Alia must account for Benue funds

Benue South Senator and Senate Minority Leader, Abba Moro, said he has written to the Federal Ministry of Finance to ascertain the allocations that have accrued to Benue State and its local governments under the administration of Governor Hyacinth Alia.

Moro, in an interview on The Conversation, a programme monitored on IDOMA Television, said Governor Alia must account for all the money he has received on behalf of Benue State since assuming office in 2023.

“Quite frankly, I am not happy with the governor, and I want to say it without any fear of contradiction that for as long as he does not regard Benue South Senatorial District as part of Benue State that should benefit from the common resources available to us, I will not be pleased.

“I can tell you here that I have written to request details of the allocations that have accrued to Benue State and the local governments from the Federal Ministry of Finance. By the time I receive the information, I will make it public to the people of Benue, especially those in Benue South, so they will know how much has accrued to the state government and the local governments on behalf of all of us.

“Of course, questions will be asked. Governor Alia will have to account for the money he has received on our behalf.”
