The Chairman of the Benue State APC Unity Caretaker Committee, Chief Benjamin Omale, has expressed profound appreciation to the good people of Benue State for their unwavering support for Governor Hyacinth Alia despite attempts by detractors to destabilize his administration.
Speaking in Makurdi, Chief Omale commended the resilience and commitment of Benue citizens who have chosen to stand with the Governor in his mission to rebuild the state. He noted that the overwhelming support for Governor Alia, both within and outside the party, is a testament to the people’s trust in his leadership and developmental vision.
Chief Omale emphasized that the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Benue is growing stronger daily, with thousands of opposition party members trooping into the party. He revealed that over 80,000 decampees from various opposition parties will soon be officially received into the APC, a clear indication that Governor Alia’s administration has earned the confidence of the people through good governance, infrastructural development, and bold leadership.
He commended the mammoth crowd of supporters who have continued to show solidarity with Governor Alia, particularly in the fight against corruption. The APC Chairman specifically lauded the Benue State House of Assembly for its decisive stance on judicial integrity, which saw the removal of the former Chief Judge of the state.
Chief Omale extended special appreciation to the APC Elders Forum, led by Senator Barnabas Gemade, for their unwavering support and guidance during these politically turbulent times. He acknowledged their commitment to truth and justice, especially in aligning with President Bola Tinubu’s administration and ensuring that Governor Alia’s mandate is protected.
His words: “We particularly appreciate the APC Elders Forum, under the leadership of Chief Barnabas Gemade, for their wisdom and guidance in strengthening our party and fostering unity. Our sincere thanks also go to all community development agencies across the 23 local government areas for their dedication to grassroots progress and development,”
Furthermore, he commended the Benue State House of Assembly for upholding democratic principles and ensuring that governance remains on the right path despite opposition efforts to derail progress.
As the APC continues to consolidate its hold in Benue State, Chief Omale called on party members and all well-meaning citizens to remain steadfast in their support for Governor Alia’s administration. He urged everyone to prioritize development over political distractions, emphasizing that only through unity can Benue State achieve lasting progress.
“As we move forward in our collective mission to rebuild and transform Benue State, let us remain united in our pursuit of progress and development. Most importantly, let us continue to pray for God’s guidance, protection, and wisdom upon our amiable Governor, so that he may continue his good work in taking Benue to greater heights,” Chief Omale added.
With thousands rallying behind Governor Alia’s leadership and more opposition members defecting to the APC, it is evident that the people of Benue are determined to support the governor’s efforts in driving meaningful development across the state.
