Why Gov Alia forced me out of office – Ex-Benue Speaker

Former Benue State House of Assembly Speaker Aondona Dajoh accused Governor Hyacinth Alia of orchestrating his removal after he refused to support an alleged plan to relocate the Tor Tiv Palace from Gboko to Ihugh, the governor's hometown. Dajoh also alleged that the governor spent over N200 million in an unsuccessful bid to remove the Chief Judge of Benue State, Justice Maurice Ikpambese. The Benue state government dismissed the allegations as false, describing them as a mixture of conspiracy theories and political bitterness.
