The PDP, in a statement in Makurdi by its State Vice Chairman, Zone A, Mr. Abraham Waroh made the call in reaction to a video making the rounds on social media in which the star Commissioner for Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, Mr. Aondowase Kunde allegedly said the people of Jechira intermediate area of the state comprising Vandeikya and Konshisha Local Government Areas, (LGAs), who fail to support the Governor could be compelled to, with the use of a taskforce.
The party condemned the alleged statement warning that it was an invitation to anarchy.
Waroh’s statement read, “PDP calls on Governor Hyacinth Alia to rein in the Commissioner for Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, Mr. Aondowase Kunde before he instigates further violence in Vandeikya, Konshisha and other parts of Benue North East.
“This call has become necessary due to comments made by Mr. Kunde in a viral video, where he called for the establishment of a task force to harass Benue people of Jechira extraction who do not support Governor Hyacinth Alia.
The party also referenced other incidents allegedly involving the Commissioner and said it had resolved to petition relevant security agencies regarding his alleged latest comment and urged that he be invited for questioning.
