Gov Hyacinth Alia of Benue State would secure a second tenure in 2027 without much stress, former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), Sen Barnabas Gemade, has declared
Gemade, while addressing APC supporters in Vandeikya, hinged his confidence on Alia’s achievements.
The governor is currently on a thank you tour to Vandiekya and Konshisha Local Government Areas.
Gemade said the Jechira people in particular, and Benue people in general, were solidly behind Alia, adding that the administration had performed very well in the last one year.
“Alia’s scorecard is better than any governor in Benue; he is competing with Aper Aku who, before now, was number one,” he said
Gov Alia lamented the underdevelopment in the state, saying past administrations failed to develop Benue, adding that the massive transformation being witnessed in the state was divine and intended to restore the state’s lost glory.
“Many years ago, Benue was taken 40 years backward. In between, we had great heroes who came in to do their bit and set the people free,” the governor noted.
