Governor Hyacinth Alia of Benue State has issued a strong appeal to members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to come out in large numbers and cast their votes for President Bola Tinubu as the party’s presidential candidate for the 2027 election. He made this statement on Thursday shortly after completing his accreditation at the gubernatorial direct primaries held at RCM Primary School in Ihugh, the administrative center of Mbadede Council Ward.
Alia emphasized that President Tinubu deserves another term in office to build upon his achievements, which include major infrastructure projects, economic reforms that have attracted investments, initiatives aimed at creating jobs and enhancing security, and a strengthened governance framework.
Furthermore, the governor assured that he would reach out to all disgruntled APC members and those who lost in the primaries for Senate, House of Representatives, and State Houses of Assembly, urging them to remain within the party fold and collaborate to ensure victory for the APC in every election.
He expressed his satisfaction with the large turnout for the gubernatorial primary, interpreting it as a clear endorsement of his leadership by the people. Alia confidently stated, “I guarantee that after my eight years in office, Benue will become a state that everyone will desire to visit.” He added, “What you have witnessed here is merely a fraction of my plans for the state. I started from scratch and have been laying a solid foundation.”
