• According to Naija News, Ugwu’s comments came in response to Moro’s appearance on an AIT program, where the commissioner claimed the senator spread falsehoods against Governor Hyacinth Alia to chase political relevance.

• Ugwu stated that linking Governor Alia to every political issue has become Moro’s primary strategy to mask what is widely seen as underperformance during his time in the Senate.

• Describing Benue South’s need for a leader focused on unity and problem-solving, Ugwu criticized Moro for relying on baseless media accusations rather than addressing citizen suffering constructively.

Call for Accountability and Government Achievements

• Challenging Moro’s tenure, Ugwu questioned what concrete actions the senator has taken regarding security, youth empowerment, development, and hardship alleviation after serving over seven years in the Senate.

• The commissioner dismissed Moro’s claims on AIT about augmenting a commissioner’s ₦150,000 IDP camp pledge as petty and unverified, demanding that the senator provide concrete evidence rather than sweeping national statements.

• Highlighting Governor Alia’s commitment to inclusiveness, Ugwu noted that the administration has placed several strategic ministries—including Finance, Health, Education, and Environment—under the leadership of Benue South.

• Ugwu concluded that no amount of political blackmail or manufactured controversies can diminish Governor Alia’s administration’s achievements or manipulate the politically conscious citizens of Benue South.
