The All Progressives Congress (APC), Benue State Chapter, joins millions of Nigerians at home and in the diaspora in celebrating the 2026 Democracy Day, a historic occasion that symbolizes the triumph of the democratic will of the people and the collective sacrifices of patriots who fought courageously for the restoration and sustenance of democratic governance in our country.
Today, we pay tribute to the heroes and heroines of democracy whose sacrifices, resilience, and commitment to justice laid the foundation for the democratic freedoms and constitutional governance we enjoy today. We equally salute all Nigerians who continue to uphold the principles of democracy through active citizenship, peaceful participation in governance, and unwavering belief in the unity and progress of our nation.
The APC Benue State Chapter heartily congratulates the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for his steadfast commitment to strengthening democratic institutions, promoting national unity, implementing courageous economic reforms, and providing visionary leadership under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
The party acknowledges the bold and strategic steps taken by President Tinubu’s administration towards repositioning the Nigerian economy, improving critical infrastructure, enhancing national security, expanding opportunities for investment, and laying a solid foundation for sustainable growth and prosperity for present and future generations.
As we commemorate Democracy Day, we proudly celebrate the remarkable leadership and transformative governance being provided by the Executive Governor of Benue State, His Excellency, Rev. Fr. Dr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia, whose administration has continued to redefine governance through purposeful leadership, accountability, transparency, and people-oriented policies.
Since assuming office, Governor Alia has demonstrated exceptional commitment to delivering the dividends of democracy across the length and breadth of Benue State. His administration has embarked on unprecedented infrastructural development, including the construction and rehabilitation of roads, improvement of public facilities, expansion of educational infrastructure, revitalization of healthcare institutions, and implementation of reforms aimed at restoring efficiency and productivity within the public service.
The Governor’s strategic investments in agriculture, youth empowerment, human capital development, security interventions, and rural development have continued to improve the lives of citizens while creating new opportunities for economic growth and prosperity. His administration’s commitment to prudent resource management and responsible governance has restored public confidence in government and strengthened the bond between leadership and the people.
The APC particularly commends Governor Alia for fostering peace, promoting inclusiveness, strengthening institutions of governance, and ensuring that government remains responsive to the needs and aspirations of the people. Through his visionary leadership, Benue State is witnessing a renewed sense of hope, progress, and development, thereby reinforcing the true essence and benefits of democratic governance.
The party also extends profound appreciation to traditional rulers, religious leaders, civil society organizations, security agencies, party faithful, elected representatives, public servants, the media, community leaders, and all stakeholders whose contributions have continued to strengthen democracy and support the successful implementation of government policies and programmes in Benue State and across Nigeria.
We especially thank the people of Benue State for their unwavering support, trust, and confidence in the administration of Governor Hyacinth Alia. Their cooperation, patience, and commitment to peace have significantly contributed to the successes recorded thus far. We encourage them to sustain their support as the administration continues to execute its developmental agenda for a greater and more prosperous Benue.
As a party, we reaffirm our total support and loyalty to the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Hyacinth Alia. We remain committed to working with all well-meaning Nigerians and stakeholders to deepen democracy, strengthen good governance, and ensure the continued delivery of democratic dividends to our people.
On this Democracy Day, we call on all citizens to remain united, law-abiding, and committed to the ideals of democracy, justice, peace, and national development. Together, we can build a stronger, more prosperous, more united Benue and Nigeria.
Happy Democracy Day to all Nigerians and the good people of Benue State.
