A video circulating on social media has captured Rt. Hon. Barr. Emmanuel Jime, a prominent Benue politician, sharply criticizing Governor Hyacinth Alia of Benue State.
In the clip shared by Asom D Jerry, Jime is heard describing the governor as “a thing that is afflicting Benue people.” While seated and gesturing emphatically, he referenced previous leadership, stating “Right from Gabriel Sozor to now, this thing…” in apparent comparison or continuation of challenges faced by the state.
The remarks, made in what appears to be an informal indoor setting with other individuals present, have drawn attention amid ongoing political discourse in Benue State. Jime’s comments reflect deep-seated dissatisfaction with the current administration’s performance as expressed by some opposition voices and critics.
As of now, no official reaction has been received from the Benue State Government regarding the statement. The video continues to generate reactions among residents, highlighting persistent political tensions in the state.
