DE JURE DIVINO: THE BETRAYAL-AVENGED STORY OF AGADA AND ALIA
*Traitors Are Punished in the Ninth Circle of Hell – Dante
By Morgan Adikwu
In Dante’s Divine Comedy, the ninth circle of hell is reserved for those who betray trust—an unpardonable offense with no redemption. This feature story parallels that ancient truth, chronicling the turbulent saga of Comrade Austin Agada, Chairman of the APC in Benue State, and Governor Hyacinth Alia. Agada paved the path for Alia’s rise to power with precision and resolve. This title captures not only Agada’s resilience in the face of betrayal but also his divine vindication. Agada stands recognized as a man of conscience and unwavering loyalty before both the law and, ultimately, before God.
Agada’s journey in this narrative is marked by sacrificial devotion and moral integrity, rare qualities in modern politics. Against all odds, Agada displayed unyielding commitment, laboring tirelessly to elevate Alia from obscurity to the heights of governance. Agada’s political prowess carried Alia, once the least favored among aspirants, safely through politics’ stormy seas.
However, upon ascending to power, Alia’s gratitude dissipated, replaced by a series of calculated misdeeds and treachery. He turned against the very structure that fortified him. Agada, however, weathered every storm with honor, proving that good intentions ultimately triumph over deceit.
The trail of betrayal began with a smear campaign aimed at discrediting Agada’s unwavering loyalty to the APC. This was followed by a suspension attempt—a move orchestrated to challenge his authority within party ranks. Despite these relentless attacks, Agada stood resolute, upholding the laws and values of his office.
He remained, in the eyes of both the public and Providence, the rightful leader. His legal team defended him against every case and political slight, from fabricated suspension orders to false dissolution claims. Each court ruling further vindicated Agada, affirming him as the true APC Chairman, honored by both legal and spiritual decree.
In the legal arena, Agada’s lawyers consistently exposed the opposition’s tactical blunders. At each appearance, his team’s precision highlighted his leadership’s legitimacy, casting doubt on the opposition’s motives. One high point unfolded when the High Court ruled in his favor, dismissing APC’s motion to obstruct justice. This ruling allowed Agada’s case to proceed unimpeded. The opposition’s legal strategies, founded on weak arguments and administrative oversights, paled against Agada’s rigorous legal defense.
As the November 28th date for the final judgment nears, this saga takes on profound significance. November 28 will become a historic day—a triumph over malice and betrayal. This date will be inscribed in Benue’s annals as a moment when good overcame evil. Agada’s faith in divine justice mirrors Prophet Desmond Aunde’s prophecy, which has long foreseen this day.
Just as Aunde correctly prophesied Donald Trump’s electoral victory, he now predicts Agada’s inevitable recognition as the authentic APC Chairman. The prophet believes Agada’s trials were refining fires, and his victory will signify righteousness’ triumph in Benue’s tumultuous political landscape.
This final judgment will conclude an arduous journey where evil was repeatedly overturned by Providence. Each step of his battle has highlighted Agada’s honor, leadership, and unshakeable faith. These virtues remind us that justice may be delayed but is never denied. Those who sought to betray Agada now find themselves haunted by justice, one that transcends human courts. They embody Dante’s warning that betrayal finds punishment not only in life but, inevitably, before the face of eternity.
