An elder statesman and one of Nigeria’s remaining First Republic senators, Senator Chia, has made a hear felt public plea to meet with Governor Alia in order to give his advice before he passes away.
In honour of the second anniversary of Governor Alia’s administration, NKST Church, High Level, Makurdi hosted a Thanksgiving mass during which the heartfelt appeal was made.

Senator Chia, who is currently in his 80s, was seen seated quietly at the church entrance, waiting for an opportunity to see the governor.
However, security measures and the large number of worshippers and sympathisers prevented him from entering to the governor.
“I cannot see well again,” he said in a frail but determined voice. “I have come to see Alia. I saw him once, and when I tried to see him at the Government House, they blocked me, as if I was looking for a political appointment.”
Senator Chia, who has over the years provided counsel to several past governors of Benue State, stressed that his intention was not political but deeply personal and borne out of duty.

“I want to offer my advice to him before I die,” he declared.
