Gov Alia, SGF Akume meet after Tinubu’s visit

In another report from Benue state, things appear to be easing in Benue after months of political tensions, especially following the recent visit by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who urged warring political leaders to embrace reconciliation for the sake of peace and progress.

Legit.ng recalls that the president visited the state to commiserate with victims of a suspected armed herders' attack in Yelewata. During a town hall meeting, he called on Governor Hyacinth Alia to initiate peace dialogue with key political stakeholders, including former governors and elder statesmen.

Days after the presidential visit, photos surfaced showing a meeting between Governor Alia and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume. The meeting reportedly took place at Akume’s residence in Abuja’s Maitama district.
