Change makes people rejoice but success creates enemies

In Nigeria especially the state of Benue, it's apparent that politicians lie alot. They promise the citizens heavens on earth but will rarely accomplish their promises. 

On the contrary, one man chooses to change the story and experiences. His name is Rev. Father Hyacint Alia 

For more than three decades the Benue state in Nigeria suffered uncared leadership: non-payment of the civil servant salary, bad roads, zero electricity, poor transportation and healthcare facilities, inspite of billions of money received from federal allocation for development and others.

In the last six months, Rev. Father Hyacinth Alia won the gubernatorial election. The entire Benue citizens were agog. Between May 2023 and this date, the Governor has surprised the citizens with these programs:

1. 100 18 seaters buses to convey people to their various destinations

2. 16 roads reconstructed into local communities

3. 20 streets rehabilitated in the state capital

4. Installation of MRI machines and other great medical facilities in the Benue state teaching Hospital

5. Rehabilitation of the state Congress Assembly building

6. Purchase of 200 tractors for farmers 

7. Distribution of fertilizers to farmers

8. Installation of solar street lights etc.

Governor is named MR 25TH because he pays monthly salary on the 25th. Others named as MR. TALK-AND-DO*

However, some of his politicians who believe in politics of sharing state funds and who had benefitted from corrupt leadership in the past have been criticizing the governor vehemently as unfit to govern the state.

Because success creates enemy, jealousy or competition....hatred is also a part.
