President Bola Tinubu has called on the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, and Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia to set aside their differences and collaborate for the development of Benue State and the nation at large.
The appeal was delivered by Vice President Kashim Shettima, who represented the President at the Progressive Governors’ Forum Renewed Hope Ambassadors Summit 2026, held at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja.
In his remarks, Tinubu urged both leaders to prioritise unity over division. “I want to use this forum to make a special appeal to His Excellency, Senator George Akume, and His Excellency, Governor Hyacinth Alia, to mend fences and work as a team. What binds us together supersedes whatever divides us. Nigeria is greater than all of us,” the President said.
The intervention comes amid reports of political friction between the two Benue leaders, both of whom hold influential positions at state and federal levels.
Shettima reiterated that the Renewed Hope Agenda is built on the principles of unity and collaboration, placing national interest above personal or political differences.
Neither Akume nor Alia has issued a public response to the President’s appeal.
