Benue State Governor, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, has made it clear that he has no plans to replace his Deputy, Barr. Sam Ode.

He firmly stated that the position of Deputy Governor is not open ahead of the 2027 elections.

Governor Alia made this remark while swearing in his newly appointed commissioners at the Old Banquet Hall of the Government House in Makurdi.

It comes amid ongoing speculation suggesting that the Governor might be considering a new running mate for the next political cycle.

He strongly denied such claims, stressing that he has full confidence in his current deputy and has never entertained the idea of seeking a replacement.

“There is no vacancy for any Deputy Governor in 2027.

“I have a Deputy Governor who understands governance, who is people-oriented.

“He is always with the people and for the people, and he is one who is very cerebral.

“For anyone thinking otherwise, I do not know, but my Deputy is very capable.

“He has all the capacity it takes to perform his functions, and he understands what is good for Benue, and that is what he is doing exactly.

“So if anybody is eating and dreaming, there is no vacancy. I love him, I enjoy working with him.

“I enjoy a personal relationship, so for those wishing the negativity, they won’t have their way.”
