Maku Refutes Claims Linking Benue Tour To Political Motive
Share on WhatsAppShare on FacebookShare on XTelegram

Former minister of Information, Labaran Maku, has dismissed as false, reports suggesting that his participation in the recent Good Governance Tour of development projects in Benue State was aimed at engineering the defection of Governor Hyacinth Alia from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Maku described the claim as entirely false, malicious and undeserving of public attention, saying it was a desperate attempt to politicise a sincere and non-partisan initiative.

In a press statement, Maku explained that the Good Governance Tour is a professional platform designed to shift the attention of political leaders, regardless of party affiliation from endless political wrangling to the more urgent task of delivering development and public service, especially at the grassroots.

“My attention has been drawn to a misleading and politically motivated report alleging that my participation in the recent Good Governance tour of development projects in Benue State is a plot to facilitate the defection of Governor Hyacinth Alia from the APC to the PDP.

“This claim is entirely false, malicious, and should be dismissed with the contempt it deserves. It is an unfortunate attempt to politicize a sincere, non-partisan initiative.

“The Good Governance Tour is a professional effort designed to shift the focus of political leaders – across all parties and at all levels – away from endless political quarrels towards the urgent need for development and service delivery, particularly to the grassroots.

“This concept is not new. It began during my time as Minister of Information, when I initiated the National Good Governance Tour, as a non-partisan platform for assessing and showcasing development efforts by incumbent leaders across the country.”

He further noted that a similar initiative was carried out during the tenure of Professor Jerry Gana as Minister of Information and National Orientation. Both efforts, he added, were motivated by the realisation that political discourse in Nigeria had become dominated by power struggles, leaving the real needs of citizens overlooked.

Refuting allegations of a political agenda, Maku stated, “At no point during our mission to Benue did we discuss or attempt to persuade Governor Alia to defect. That narrative is a complete fabrication.”

He described Alia as a man driven by the desire to serve, not by desperation for 2027, and urged detractors to stop politicising the governor’s developmental efforts.
