BENUE COMRADES STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE

ANY DISCIPLINARY MEASURE THAT PUNISHES THE PEOPLE MORE THAN THE INDIVIDUAL DEMANDS URGENT RECONSIDERATION

RESTORE THE PEOPLE'S MANDATES NOW!

The continued suspension, and subsequent extension of the suspension, of Hon. Aondona Dajoh and Hon. Saater Tiseer represents a direct setback to the democratic rights and developmental aspirations of the people they were elected to serve. This issue goes beyond personalities or politics; it concerns the collective voice of the constituents whose representation has been significantly diminished by the prolonged absence of their elected representatives from legislative duties.

Hon. Aondona Dajoh and the former Majority Leader, Hon. Saater Tiseer, have consistently distinguished themselves through visible constituency projects, grassroots engagement, and impactful human capital development initiatives. From community development interventions to empowerment programmes for youths, women, and vulnerable groups, their records reflect a commitment to service that has earned them recognition among their peers and the confidence of their constituents.
Their prolonged suspension threatens to stall ongoing development efforts, weaken advocacy for pressing community needs, and interrupt programmes that have brought hope and opportunities to many.

More importantly, it deprives the people of effective representation and undermines the democratic mandate freely bestowed upon them through the ballot.

While institutional discipline remains important, it should never overshadow the fundamental right of voters to have their voices represented. Any disciplinary measure that punishes the people more than the individuals concerned demands urgent reconsideration.
We believe the relevant authorities recognize that every additional day of their suspension weakens representation in their constituencies and translates into delayed development, diminished advocacy, and growing frustration among constituents who deserve to have their interests defended and advanced.

Democracy thrives when voters are placed far above their servants, not when they are sidelined because of their servants.

It is therefore imperative that the relevant authorities, legislative leadership, and stakeholders act in the interest of justice, fairness, and democratic accountability by rescinding the suspension and restoring the people's voices in the legislative chamber.

The people have waited long enough, and they are watching. Their mandates deserves respect. Their voices deserve to be heard. Their representatives deserve fair reconsideration.
For the record, justice delayed under the present administration is representation denied.

NOW THAT ALIA'S “MEN” HAVE STARTED TALKING

By Iorliam Shija

Politics has a cruel habit of turning friends into rivals and allies into witnesses.Throughout history, leaders have often discovered that the most dangerous criticism does not come from opponents who never supported them. It comes from former comrades who once sat at the table, fought the battles and shared the victories.

This week, Rt. Hon. Aondona Hyacinth Dajoh celebrated two milestones; one was his 50th birthday and and another was anniversary of his three years as the member representing Gbemacha State Constituency in the Benue State House of Assembly.

For many observers, however, it was not the celebration that attracted attention. It was what Dajoh said at Akpagher, Gboko Local Government, venue of the twin celebrations.

The former Speaker alleged that his removal from office was connected to his opposition to a proposal to relocate the Tor Tiv Palace from Gboko to Ihugh. He also made other allegations concerning events within the Alia administration.

Whether these claims are accepted or disputed is a matter for political debate. What cannot be disputed is the identity of the speaker.

Dajoh was not merely another APC lawmaker. His emergence as Speaker on June 5, 2023, was one of the earliest and most significant victories recorded by Governor Hyacinth Alia in the power struggle that followed his inauguration.

At the time, Alia was locked in a contest for political supremacy with forces loyal to Senator George Akume. The governor won important battles. He installed his preferred Speaker, secured his preferred Chief of Staff and SSG. The message was clear, a new political order had arrived.

Three years later, the picture is remarkably different. Paul Biam is no longer Chief of Staff, Prof. Joseph Alakali is no longer SSG and Aondona Dajoh is no longer Speaker. More significantly, Dajoh is no longer in APC.

Last month, he crossed over to PDP and arrived early enough to secure the opposition party's ticket for Gbemacha ahead of the next election cycle.That fact changes everything.

His comments should not be viewed merely as complaints from a former Speaker. They should be viewed as the political arguments of a man who has now positioned himself on the opposite side of the battlefield.

History suggests that leaders should pay close attention when former allies begin to find new political homes.

Julius Caesar spent years defeating enemies across Europe, yet the conspiracy that ultimately destroyed him emerged largely from within his own political circle. Richard Nixon survived repeated attacks from political opponents, but his presidency collapsed when trusted insiders began talking and allies withdrew their protection. Robert Mugabe outlasted generations of opposition politicians in Zimbabwe, only to discover that the greatest threat to his rule came from influential figures within the establishment he had built.

The lesson from these examples is not that Governor Alia faces the same fate. Rather, it is that leaders are often weakened not when enemies attack them, but when former allies stop defending them.

This is where the real lesson lies. In politics, removal is often easier than replacement.A leader may remove an ally from office, but he cannot always remove that ally from relevance.The former ally retains memories, relationships, supporters and in some cases, ambitions.

The moment such a person joins the opposition, every grievance acquires political value.Every disagreement becomes campaign material. Every private conversation becomes public discussion. Every former ally becomes a potential critic.

For Governor Alia, the concern should not simply be that Aondona Dajoh has spoken. Politicians criticize one another every day. The more important question is whether Dajoh represents an isolated voice or the beginning of a wider conversation among former associates who now feel excluded from the political project they once helped build.

If more former allies begin speaking from different political platforms, the challenge before the governor may gradually shift from defeating the opposition to explaining why so many former comrades have become opponents.

We hope to hear from Paul Biam soon.

MKEENEM MOSES, FIMC, CMC:A NEW SOCIAL CONTRACT FOR KWANDE/USHONGO 2027

History rarely announces its arrival with fanfare. More often, it emerges at the precise moment when a people grow weary of stagnation and begin to demand a different covenant between leadership and society. That moment has arrived for the people of Kwande/ Ushongo Federal Constituency.

For too long, representation has oscillated between grandiloquence and inertia; between eloquent promises on social Media, Tv Stations and negligible outcomes. The consequence is a constituency endowed with immense human and natural capital, yet constrained by insecurity, infrastructural atrophy, economic lethargy, and institutional neglect.

The emergence of Hon.Mkeenem as the People's Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for Kwande/Ushongo Federal Constituency signals the possibility of a paradigmatic rupture with this debilitating orthodoxy.

Hon. Mkeenem does not present himself as a mere candidate to office. He embodies a philosophy of transformational stewardship, one anchored in competence, probity, and developmental intentionality. His candidacy is not a quest for political ornamentation; it is an audacious proposition for the reinvigoration of a constituency yearning for visionary leadership.

At a time when agrarian communities are contending with existential threats, when youth restiveness is fuelled by economic exclusion, and when public confidence in governance continues to erode, Kwande/Ushongo requires a representative with both intellectual gravitas and strategic dexterity.

Mkeenem understands that development is not an abstraction. It is the deliberate orchestration of security, enterprise, education, healthcare, and infrastructure into a coherent architecture of prosperity.

His vision transcends tokenism. It seeks to catalyse economic renaissance, democratise opportunities and reposition the constituency as a nexus of innovation, productivity, and social advancement.

More importantly, he subscribes to a doctrine of accountable representation. In his conception of public service, the electorate are not spectators but stakeholders; not passive recipients but active participants in governance. Consultation, transparency, and responsiveness are not campaign lexicons, they are governing imperatives.

The choice before Kwande/Ushongo is therefore neither mundane nor inconsequential. It is a choice between political habituation and transformational possibility; between the familiar cycle of underperformance and a future animated by purpose.

Mkeenem Moses represents a generational recalibration of leadership, one that privileges substance over spectacle, outcomes over optics, and service over self-aggrandisement.

The constituency stands at the threshold of a new era. The hour demands courage. The future demands vision. The people deserve representation that is not merely visible, but consequential.

That is the new social contract.

That is the Mkeenem proposition.

YELEWATA MUST NOT BE REDUCED TO A GRAVE OF BROKEN PROMISES. BUILD YELEWATA NOW....

June 13 must be remembered in Benue State, but remembrance alone is not enough.

Government condolences do not rebuild homes. Speeches do not restore livelihoods. Ceremonies do not heal shattered communities. YELEWATA stands today as a wounded testimony that grief without action becomes abandonment, and memory without reconstruction becomes cruelty disguised as concern.

The survivors cannot survive on promises. They require shelters that restore human dignity, not temporary relief that prolongs instability. They require schools that bring life back to broken futures, healthcare systems that respond to trauma with urgency, livelihoods that restore independence, and security that ends the cycle of fear. Every delay in meaningful action deepens suffering, and every postponement compounds injustice already endured.

Those entrusted with rebuilding Yelewata carry a responsibility that cannot be reduced to administrative routine. It is a moral obligation weighed by conscience and judged by history.

This responsibility demands urgency, integrity, and an uncompromising respect for human dignity. It rejects political performance, bureaucratic stagnation, and any attempt to turn tragedy into opportunity for personal gain.

True leadership is not defined by declarations made after catastrophe, but by the tangible restoration of lives shattered by it. It is measured in rebuilt homes, reopened classrooms, restored healthcare access, and secured communities. Future no will not remember the volume of speeches delivered by government officials in the aftermath of suffering; they will remember whether those speeches were followed by action or abandoned to silence.

Accountability must extend beyond those who directly perpetrated violence. It must also confront the quieter but equally destructive forces of corruption, negligence, and institutional indifference. Those who enable the disappearance of public resources meant for the rebuilding of YELEWATA, those who remain silent while systems fail, and those who treat collective suffering as background noise are all part of the chain that prolongs injustice. When trust is broken at this level, recovery becomes slower, heavier, and more painful.
The people of Yelewata are not asking for pity. They are demanding dignity. They are demanding justice that is not symbolic but real, visible in reconstruction, measurable in delivery, and immediate in impact.

They are demanding a future not held hostage by inefficiency, corruption, or neglect.

Let June 13 remain permanently etched in national conscience as a warning and a reminder: remembrance without reconstruction is complicity. Every promise made to Yelewata must be fulfilled without delay. Every resource allocated must be transparently accounted for. Every institution responsible for recovery must operate under strict standards of accountability, with no tolerance for diversion or negligence.

The dead deserve remembrance.
The survivors deserve justice.
The displaced deserve restoration.

And Yelewata deserves more than sympathy from the government it deserves decisive rebuilding, carried out with urgency and humanity.

June 13, YELEWATA DAY is fast approaching.

A day to remember the innocent.

A day to confront negligence.

A day to demand accountability.

A day to rebuild what the enemies destroyed.

A day to ensure that silence never triumphs over responsibility again.

AONDOAKAA RECEIVES HERO’S WELCOME IN MATERNAL HOME FOLLOWING TIV TRADITIONAL COUNCIL RECOGNITION

By: James Ian

The maternal home of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) flag bearer for the 2027 Benue State governorship election, Chief Michael Kaase Aondoakaa, SAN, on Saturday 30th May, 2026 honoured him following the conferment of the prestigious Tiv honorific title, “Ivaanyange i Tiv,” by the Tiv Traditional Council. The ceremony took place in Mbaazagee, Mbagen, Buruku Local Government Area of Benue State.

Speaking at the event, the District Head of Mbaazagee, Tyoor Senenge Amusa Iwokwagh, acknowledged Chief Aondoakaa’s immense contributions to the Tiv nation, Benue State, and Nigeria at large. He expressed pride that the community had produced a son whose accomplishments continue to bring honour and recognition to his people, noting that the title was well deserved.

Speaking through Ortar Saater Kaainjo, the traditional ruler also commended Aondoakaa’s mother for raising a worthy and distinguished son whose achievements have continued to inspire pride within and beyond the Tiv nation.

In his response, Chief Aondoakaa expressed profound appreciation to the Tiv Traditional Council and the entire Mbaazagee community for the honour bestowed upon him. He solicited their continued prayers and support as he pursues his political journey, assuring them that he would return at a later date to formally brief them on his governorship ambition.

He further urged members of his maternal community to remain united and peaceful, assuring them of his unwavering commitment to their welfare and development.

In their goodwill messages, Hon. Timothy Manger, Elder Igbahemba Vehe, Elder Orakaa Aba, Hon. Ternenge Upev, and other speakers paid glowing tributes to the former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, describing him as a worthy ambassador of the Tiv people and a leader whose service has positively impacted countless lives.

A major highlight of the ceremony was the symbolic dressing of the honouree in Tiv traditional attire, alongside the presentation of gifts by the Traditional Council and members of his maternal family.

Earlier, Chief Aondoakaa made a brief stop at his country home in Lessel, where he informed his immediate community in Mbashabu, Township Ward, Ushongo Local Government Area, of his affirmation as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship flag bearer for the forthcoming Benue State gubernatorial election.

He thanked the community for its steadfast support over the years and encouraged members to remain united and committed as preparations for the 2027 election gather momentum.

GOVERNMENT IS A CONTINUOUS PROCESS: CREDIT MUST BE GIVEN WHERE IT IS DUE

There is a tendency in politics to view every achievement through the narrow prism of partisanship. Yet, history demands a higher standard. It rewards facts, honours results, and preserves the legacies of those who dared to build when circumstances were far less favourable.

What is today acclaimed by many as the finest palace in Sub-Saharan Africa did not materialise through chance, nor was it the product of extraordinary financial abundance. It was conceived and executed during a period when Benue State's monthly allocation stood at approximately ₦3 billion—a figure that pales in comparison with the resources available in subsequent years. Nevertheless, under the leadership of Samuel Ortom, a bold vision was pursued, demonstrating that genuine development is driven more by purpose than by the size of the treasury.

Constructed alongside the palace of the Och’Idoma, this magnificent edifice represents far more than bricks, mortar and architectural splendour. It stands as a profound statement of respect for traditional institutions, cultural identity and the historical heritage of the people. These palaces are enduring assets whose significance transcends politics, serving as monuments that future generations will inherit with pride.

Remarkably, these projects were not isolated undertakings. They formed part of a broader developmental philosophy anchored in permanence rather than publicity. Across the state, investments were made in infrastructure, public institutions and strategic initiatives designed to create lasting value. They were conceived not for electoral cycles but for posterity.

It is easy to criticise from a distance; it is far more difficult to conceive, fund and complete projects that withstand the test of time. While opinions may differ regarding policy choices and priorities, the evidence of tangible achievement remains undeniable. The true measure of leadership lies not in political slogans but in enduring contributions to society.

This is precisely why the contributions of Samuel Ortom deserve objective recognition. One need not be a political ally to acknowledge accomplishment, just as one need not be a political opponent to deny it. Fair-minded observers understand that credit should be accorded wherever it is earned.

Governance is, by its very nature, a continuum. No administration inherits a blank slate, and none departs having fulfilled every aspiration of the people. Sustainable development occurs when succeeding governments consolidate existing gains, complete inherited projects and build upon established foundations. States progress when continuity triumphs over political rivalry.

A mature society does not erase yesterday's achievements to advance today's narratives. Rather, it preserves institutional memory, celebrates genuine accomplishments and encourages a culture where service to the public is valued above political expediency.

In the final analysis, history remembers builders. It remembers those who transformed vision into reality, who left behind structures, institutions and legacies that continue to serve the people long after they have left office. In that regard, the achievements associated with Samuel Ortom's administration deserve not only acknowledgement but a rightful place in the continuing story of Benue State's development.
