Governor of Benue State, Hyacinth Alia, yesterday rose in stout defence of local government autonomy saying the third tier of government was working perfectly in his state.
He dismissed insinuations that local government and judicial autonomy were being undermined in the state, insisting that Benue remained fully compliant with provisions of the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (As amended).
