Benue: Governor Alia inaugurates 2027 campaign council, says re-election will ensure continuity

Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia inaugurated the Tinubu/Alia 2027 Campaign Council in Makurdi, naming Citizen Richard Asema as its director-general. He urged APC members to unite and set aside grievances in support of the re-election bids of President Bola Tinubu and himself. Alia credited federal support for progress in security, education, healthcare, infrastructure and agriculture, citing the recruitment of 9,700 teachers and road projects linking the state’s 23 local government areas, which are about 75% complete. He said a second term would focus on consolidating existing achievements rather than starting projects from scratch.
