HRM, the Tor Tiv, Orchivirigh, Prof James Ayatse has been advised to call the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume to order over lopsided appointments in favor of the people of the Jemgbagh extraction of the Tiv nation in Benue state.
The group also decried the nomination of a relative of the SGF, Dr. Tyover Dajo of the Akume Dajo family as Rector of Federal Polytechnic, Wannune in Tarka Local Government Area (LGA) of the state and alleged plot by the SGF to have a former Governorship candidate in the state, Barr Emmanuel Jime removed as the Executive Secretary of Shippers’ Council of Nigeria.
Disclosing this at a Press Conference in Makurdi on Monday, Fannen Mondo, President, Zone ‘A’ Peoples’ Assembly (ZAPA) flanked by other members of the group warned the SGF to desist from the line he was towing as it may lead to his imminent downfall.
Mondo explained that in the text which was a formal letter sent to the paramount leader of the Tiv nation, ZAPA urged the Tor Tiv to use his office and intervene before the issues snowballs into an avalanche.
According to him, “We have heard disturbing news from a grapevine that he (SGF) is plotting a heavy opposition against the Governor of Benue state, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia.
“Alia’s singular sin is that he did not back Mrs. Becky Orpin as Speaker. Akume has more than a vested interest in Becky and desperately wanted her to occupy the number 3 seat in the state.
