Credit: Nwakocha Stanley | XPresident Bola Tinubu has promised to resolve the political feud between the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, and Governor Hyacinth Alia of Benue State. We cannot afford to allow the discord between the elder statesman, Sen. Akume, and Governor Alia to escalate. If this relationship goes asunder, it is the people of Benue, North-Central and Nigeria that will suffer. NAN also reports that the immediate past governor of Benue State, Chief Samuel Ortom, and traditional rulers were also in attendance.
