For the past few days, a leaked audio has been flying around the airwaves of Benue social media said to have been the voice of one Mr. Moses Ternenge, who in the recording, is clearly aggrieved with Kunav people and also claimed he was pivotal in making H.E. Rev. Fr. Alia the Governor of Benue State.
Summary of his claims according to the recording are as follows;
- He drinks tea and plays with the Chief Justice of Nigeria.
- That Our Senator Akume, the present SGF to the Federation is not his boss but a friend.
- He made Aondona Dajoh speaker of Benue State House of Assembly.
- That the President of the Industrial court is in his debt for once saving him from a crisis.
- He can build a house like that of H.E. Fr. Alia in ONE DAY
- He can mobilise 100 trucks of soldiers from Abuja to Benue state with just a phone call.
- He has warned the Governor's kinsmen, Kunav people to be careful.
- The Chief judge of Benue is under him.
- He has been helping Kunav people before H.E. Alia became Governor of Benue State
- He made H.E. Fr. Alia Governor of Benue State.
In response, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Sir Tersoo Kula, last night released a Press Statement titled "LEAKED AUDIO: GOVERNOR ALIA DESERVES BETTER" dated Saturday, July 29th, 2023 to counter Mr. Moses Ternenge.
Find the verbatim Press Release below.
This is to clarify some misrepresentations, insinuations and skewed commentaries making the rounds in the media as it borders on the Executive Governor of Benue State, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia.
We have carefully listened to a certain leaked voice recording making the rounds which has unfortunately served as the basis for the distortions and wish to hereby state as follows:
1. That Mr. Moses Ternenge is neither an aide nor appointee of the Alia led administration. He is an indigene of the state and APC party man just like any other person that may be seen around the Governor.
2. Moses Ternenge has never been appointed by His Excellency, Rev. Fr. Alia, officially or unofficially to represent or negotiate anything, anywhere for any purpose whatsoever on behalf of the Governor or the state.
3. That as an adult that he is, Moses Ternenge is responsible for any action he takes. Such actions and utterances are not a representation of the principles and vision of Governor Hyacinth Alia.
4. That Mr. Moses Ternenge, like any other citizen is free to share in the vision or principles of the Reverend gentleman governing Benue State. Where he chooses to go differently, he should be criticised or assessed based on what he represents or stands for. But pretentiously painting a picture that he is an aide and represents His Excellency, Rev. Fr. Alia is most preposterous and repulsive.
5. That Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia has come with a very clear vision, and a fecund package to reposition Benue and restore her lost glories.
6. That he has already started on a sound note. He is fiercely focused about the prospect of a New Benue. Genuine lovers of the state have already started pointing out positive signals that a "Benue of Our Dreams" will soon be here.
Therefore, the outbursts of Mr. Moses should not mislead neither the opposition or all the teaming supporters of His Excellency into believing that he has derailed as he has a well Marshalled programme for the overall development of the state.
His Excellency deserves better.
Sir Tersoo Kula,
Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Benue State.
