Senator Abba Patrick Moro, who currently serves as both the representative for Benue South Senatorial District and the Senate Minority Leader, took a major step towards his re-election bid on Friday. He personally collected his Expression of Interest and Nomination forms from the PDP State Secretariat located in Makurdi, Benue State. This move signals his intent to seek a third term in office, riding on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Addressing the State Working Committee members and enthusiastic party supporters, Moro expressed his determination to work tirelessly not only for his own victory but also for all PDP candidates in the upcoming elections. He voiced strong confidence that the party would reclaim the Benue Government House in 2027, reinforcing the party’s position in the state.
According to the senator, he chose to personally purchase the forms rather than sending a proxy to demonstrate the seriousness of his ambition. He highlighted the party’s recent judicial triumph, noting that despite skeptics who doubted they would have a platform to contest, the PDP remains a viable vehicle for elections. He encouraged patience among those who did not receive nominations, emphasizing that timing is in God’s hands. Drawing from his own experience, he recalled how his name was initially replaced when nominated as minister, yet he went on to serve three years, longer than his predecessors.
Moro vowed to champion the cause of Zone C, which he described as a stronghold of the PDP, and pledged to ensure the party delivers impressive results in the general elections. He reassured the people of Benue South of his unwavering commitment to serve and not let them down.
