Benue: Gov Alia swears in 23 newly elected LG chairmen
Governor Hyacinth Alia of Benue has sworn in the 23 newly elected local government council chairmen in the state.
Alia, during the ceremony on Monday in Makurdi, tasked the new council chairmen with accountability and transparency.
DAILY POST reports that the chairmen were elected in the local government elections held by the Benue State Independent Electoral Commission (BSIEC) on Saturday and Sunday.
The results announced by BSIEC indicated that candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) won all 23 chairmanship and 276 councillorship seats.
The governor urged the LG chairmen to be responsible, work for the people and be mindful of all they do, stating that granting autonomy to the local governments has its consequences.
He said no tier of government works in isolation and advised them to collaborate with the state and federal governments for effective service delivery.
Alia further charged them with working diligently, providing leadership, and upholding the highest standards of governance in their respective councils.
The governor further urged them not to disappoint the electorates who voted massively for their victories.
Alia advised the new council chiefs to focus on bringing democratic deliverables to the people and to always remain in their respective areas of assignment.
“This event marks a significant movement in the life and future of LG administration in Benue, especially as it concerns people at the grassroots who came out in their numbers on Saturday overwhelmingly to choose you at the polls.
“Be reminded that leadership is about service and sacrifice and not personal glory.
“I urged you to always collaborate with us at the state level to implement policies and programmes that benefit our rural communities,” the governor said.
