From Uche Nnorom,, Makurdi

Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Benue State, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia has said he is unperturbed by the Appeal

Court Judgement ordering fresh conduct of primaries in 11 local government areas of the State.

Reacting to the judgement on Monday at a press conference in his residence in Makurdi, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, who expressed his respect for the judgement, urged all APC members and supporters to remain calm as he is still on the ballot.

He said, “all the other prayers against him were all thrown out except one in which the Court directed that the APC should go back to the 11 LGAs to conduct a rerun of the elections.

“We respect the judgement so far and I am appealing to my party faithful and fans to simply remain very calm as everything is still under control. I am still on the ballot.”
