The intense political battle that has gripped Benue State in recent months has now been quelled, thanks to the intervention of the Paramount ruler of the Tiv Nation, HRM Professor James Ayatse.
Reports indicate that Governor Alia and SGF Akume, erstwhile bitter rivals, were brought together in a reconciliatory meeting held at the revered Tor Tiv Palace in Gboko.

In a remarkable display of statesmanship, Alia and Akume extended their hands in a firm handshake, signifying a truce that seemed improbable until that moment.
The reconciliation deal brokered by Tor Tiv signaled a new chapter in Benue State politics, with Alia and Akume setting aside their differences for the greater good. The unexpected turn of events left many wondering about the intricacies of the agreement and the implications for the political landscape of the state.
