Benue Governor Alia inaugurates 2027 campaign council, touts continuity

Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia inaugurated the Tinubu/Alia 2027 Campaign Council in Makurdi on Thursday, naming Citizen Richard Asema as its director-general. He urged APC members to set aside personal grievances and unite behind the re-election bids of President Bola Tinubu and himself, saying both administrations were delivering on their promises. Alia cited the recruitment of 9,700 teachers, road works connecting the state’s 23 local government areas, and progress in security, education and healthcare, crediting federal support for the gains. If re-elected, he said he would consolidate existing achievements rather than start projects from scratch.
