BREAKING: APC Stakeholders Endorse President Tinubu For Second Term—-Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Benue State have endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term as President of Nigeria.
The endorsement was made during a stakeholders’ meeting attended by elders from the 23 local government areas of the state.
The party’s elders, led by Second Republic Senator Jacob Tilley Gyado, praised President Tinubu’s support for the people of Benue State, as evident in the appointment of prominent individuals from the state into his administration. They vowed to reciprocate this support by giving President Tinubu massive votes to win again in 2027.
The stakeholders also condemned a plot to remove Senator George Akume as Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF). They acknowledged Senator Akume’s immense contributions to the political development of Benue State, the North Central region, and the country as a whole.
“Akume is a round peg in a round hole,” the elders said. “We want the whole world to know that Senator George Akume remains our leader, the leader of Benue politics, and indeed North Central in general.”
The stakeholders assured President Tinubu that Benue State would repeat its massive support for the APC in 2027, giving him “100 over 100” votes. They also condemned any calls for Senator Akume’s removal and affirmed his leadership in the state.
The elders attributed Senator Akume’s appointment as SGF to his experience, maturity, and understanding of politics. They expressed confidence that he would deliver Benue State and the North Central region to the APC in future elections.
In addition, the stakeholders restated their support for the leadership of Comrade Austin Agada and Senator Akume, condemning the fractionalization of the APC in the state. They regretted that despite their hard work in putting the party in a strong position, some elements had conspired to hinder the party’s progress.
