Ahead of the 2027 General Elections, Benue State Governor, Rev. Fr Hyacinth Alia, on Thursday, inaugurated the Tinubu/Alia 2027 Campaign Council headed by Hon Citizen Richard Asema.
Speaking during the inauguration ceremony, which held at the IBB Square in Makurdi, Governor Alia said the event was part of efforts geared towards ensuring that candidates of the party including Nigeria’s President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, himself and others vying for various positions on the party’s platform emerge victorious in the forth coming elections.
Stressing the need to reelect Tinubu and himself, the Governor gave a run down of remarkable achievements recorded by his administration across various sectors, including security, education, health agriculture, infrastructure, and industrialization among others, which he attributed to the immense support Benue has enjoyed from the President.
While noting the council’s Director General’s capacity to deliver on the task ahead,
Governor Alia, who described their appointments as a clear indication of the confidence reposed in them by the party leadership and the people of Benue therefore, charged members of the campaign council to demonstrate unity, commitment and dedication in the discharge of their responsibility.
The Governor who reassured of his determination to bring greater development to the state and further create better economic opportunities for the people if reelected, further urged members of the APC in the state to put aside their differences and embrace reconciliation in order to work together as one family towards securing victory for the party in the forthcoming elections.
Responding on behalf of other council members, Hon Citizen Asema thanked the Governor as well as the party leadership for finding them worthy to seve in that capacity and assured that victory for President Tinubu and Governor Alia was a sure bet.
Earlier in his opening remarks, the State APC Chairman, Chief Benjamin Omale, who noted the positive impact the Tinubu and Alia administration’s have made on Nigeria in general and Benue State in particular through their programmes and policies, sued for unity and commitment, not just from members of the campaign council but also all party members and supporters in the quest for victory come 2027.
Also, in their goodwill messages, Chief Barnabas Gemade, Elder Hon. Iyôô Igbôndo, as well as Gen. Lawrence Onoja (Rtd), who spoke on behalf of Benue North/East, Benue North/West, and Benue South, respectively, said President Tinubu and Governor Alia have proven themselves worthy of reelection.
They therefore sued for support for not just both of them but also all other candidates of the APC.
Shortly after the inauguration ceremony, Governor Alia was joined by the APC state leadership and party members to commission the Tinubu/Alia 2027 Campaign Headquarters located at Wurukum, Makurdi.
