The Governor of Benue State, Hyacinth Alia, has called on members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state to turn out in large numbers to vote for President Bola Tinubu as the party’s presidential flag bearer in the forthcoming 2027 presidential election.
The governor made the call on Thursday after he was accredited during the gubernatorial direct primaries at RCM Primary School, Ihugh, the headquarters of Mbadede Council Ward.
He said President Tinubu deserves re-election to consolidate on his developmental strides, including expanded infrastructure projects, renewed focus on economic reforms and investment attraction, efforts to boost job creation and improve security, and a commitment to strengthening governance.
Governor Alia also promised to engage aggrieved APC members and aspirants who lost contests for the Senate, House of Representatives, and State Houses of Assembly to ensure they remain in the party and work together toward delivering victory for the APC in all elections.
He expressed satisfaction with the turnout for the gubernatorial primary, describing it as a clear mandate from the people.
“I can assure you that by the time I am through with my eight years in office, Benue will become a state everyone would want to visit.
“What you have seen is not even a quarter of what I have in store for the state. I started from ground zero and had to lay some very solid foundations,” he pledged.
