Datti dumps LP for PRP

Vice President Kashim Shettima on Tuesday called on Governor Hyacinth Alia of Benue State and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, George Akume, to put aside their disagreements and reconcile.

Shettima encouraged both leaders to settle their rift and collaborate in the interest of Benue State’s growth and stability.

Addressing stakeholders in Abuja, Shettima said: “I want to make a special appeal to his Excellency, George Akume and his Excellency Hyacinth Alia to mend fences and work together.

“Apart from Abdullahi Ganduje, Akume is the longest serving public servant in our current dispensation.

“He’s over 70 and he started work in Benue House and was the Director of Protocol, he was a Permanent Secretary, was a governor for eight years, senator for 12 years, minister for four years, and now the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.

“You have seen it all, you are an elder statesman, reach out to our junior brother, yes you have been here together, Benue deserves peace and development.

“What binds us together supersedes whatever that divides us, the trajectory of global growth is facing Africa and Nigeria will make or mar that transition.”
