Please don’t engage the Igbos in argument on here. I am just seeing this thread and it’s a great thread.

Just ignore any Igbo that’s trying to pollute the thread with hate and envy.

Do not reply coz the essence of this thread will be defeated.

UNITY IS A PLAN OF THE HEART, BUILT ON FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHTS. TO ENTERTAIN THIS SPIRIT EACH OF THE STATE IN THE SW SHOULD IMMEDIATELY ESTABLISH SPSC-STATE POLICY SERVICES COMMISSION, made up of

2 Traditional Rulers from each Local Government and 2 SANs-Senior Advocates of NIGERIA to serve as SECRETARIES only to the SPSC.

This SPSC will be responsible for 3 other State Commissions, such as

1 STATE AMOTEKUN SECURITY POLICING.

2 STATE AMOTEKUN RESOURCES COMMISSION

3 STATE AMOTEKUN ELECTIONS COMMISSION

AS I SAID ABOVE UNITY IS A WORD OF OLODUMARE BORNE IN OUR INDIVIDUAL CONSCIENCES .

GOD BLESS YORUBAS WITH MORE WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING NIPA IFE ODUDUWA.

Ok Let me ask. if Tinubu dies today, Would a Fashola, Fayemi(both whom you and others have alluded failed), be able to win elections?

It was Tinubu who was MAGNANIMOUS enough to even dig up these type of people and back them to win elections

Without Tinubus backing Fashola would never win Surulere LGA nor win the ACN ticket. When Tinubu wasnt a factor we saw those who were ruling but you choose to call it scare mongering I am from Oyo State and I saw where Akala, Adedibu were ruling the state what you call bogeyman was actually a reality in the entire SWest

*... AND BY A PROPHET WAS HE PRESERVED*

AN OPEN LETTER TO HIS EXCELLENCY, REV FR HYACINTH ALIA

Some call it the "Yes Father" effect. Others describe it as Benue cleansing. Yet some others say it is Divinity at work in Benue as answers to prayers. And the workers call it the Mr 25th effect. One thing is however crystal clear; things have not been the same in the past one year in Benue state, since Rev Fr Alia became the governor of the state. A new sheriff is in town.

For over 32 years as a Catholic Priest, and a healing Minister, he had experienced, firsthand, the sufferings of his people. He has seen physical, emotional and economic pains of the poor Benue farmer. And as a Priest, who lived among parishioners, he had had to give up his meals, emptied his pocket, denied himself of so many rights to bring smiles to some faces around him. Seeing the enormity of the suffering of his people, his prayer time was increased as he interceded for his people in prayers considering his scarce resources to give physical help to millions. But like the Biblical Joseph, whom the King made the Prime Minister since God, through him interpreted the dream that was going to prepare the kingdom for years of drought and famine ahead, the Almighty God said, my son, Hyacinth, since you feel this much burden for your people, who's more qualified and ready to enthrone prosperity in the land than you. And the Lord spoke, and He turned the hearts of the people, and "Yes Father" was coined to herald the enthronement of Rev Fr Alia as the governor of Benue state. Benue was in dire need of an emancipator, and Hosea 12:13 played before our eyes *"And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved."*

A little over a year ago he was sworn in as the executive governor of Benue state having amassed the highest number of votes by a gubernatorial candidate in the history of the state. On a day like this I could have chronicled several achievements of the Reverend Governor. Yes, he has achieved a lot in one year. We can see roads in our towns, but yet, I can see through another prism God's reason for bringing him to us as a gift. What do you have to say about the openness with which the government is being run, for the first time in our recent democratic history. In my village of Oiji in Apa Local Government Area, I remember how many retired personnels who lost their lives hoping and waiting for their gratuity and pension. I remember a retiree who died for lack of N200 as I was made to know. Children of retirees sent out of schools in so many areas. Workers were afraid to retire. But then even those in active service were turned to beggars. There was no way forward for Benue workers. And when Benue workers complain, Benue farmers moan. Then all of a sudden the retirees are smiling; footing bills, taking care of their respective families. What has changed? A new sheriff is in town who not only pays workers promptly on or before the 25th of every month, but pays pensions of retired civil servants promptly also, and gratuity is paid within weeks of retirement without any unnecessary follow up.

A governor, who has not taken any loan; who had no official cars till his tenth month in office as he was settling salary backlogs; who demanded same sacrifices from his appointees; who fought vehemently against those who had hitherto turned the state Treasury to personal accounts; who has commissioned projects without any loan; who said he could only take loans for further infrastructural developments; who visits projects sites by himself, rolling over his sleeves. That's the new sheriff in this town.

The attitudinal change towards governance that he has inculcated in this one year is phenomenal. People now see government through a different prism. Transparency is the order of the day. He has no room for truancy, laziness and embezzlement, and he has shown many the exit door as a result. The salary wage bill has been reduced drastically after his first screening of the work force. He has sent many ghost workers to where they belong. Only the living work in Benue state now. The Disciplinary Master is here. Now our money would work for us, for all of us.

Another imperceptible but momentous achievement is the faith that Benue indigenes now have in their leader. Yes, the opposition numbers in millions, and naturally so. But daily, many are won by the transparency of our workaholic, true, sincere, God-sent and dependable governor.

Rev Fr Hyacinth Alia has spent time trying to clean the Augean stable he inherited. And he is succeeding. And the whole of Benue is standing by our governor. INEC would have the simplest election in Benue in 2027 among all the states in Nigeria. Our Reverend Governor is working. Benue is working. A new sheriff is indeed in town. ...And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.
