By Peverga Nathan|04-06-207

As political activities gradually gather momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections, former Councillor of Township Council Ward and renowned grassroot mobilizer, Hon. Dantala Akuga, has intensified mobilization efforts in support of the re-election bids of Governor Hyacinth Iormem Alia and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

In a series of strategic meetings held separately with Etulo women, Hausa women and Idoma youths in Katsina-Ala, Hon. Akuga urged members of the various communities to remain steadfast in their support for the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration at both the state and federal levels.

Speaking during the engagements, Hon. Akuga commended the leadership of H.E. Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia Phd, noting that the administration has recorded significant achievements across critical sectors and has substantially fulfilled the mandate entrusted to it by the people of Benue State.

According to him, the successes being recorded by the Benue State Government have been greatly strengthened by the support and partnership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose administration continues to provide the enabling environment for developmental initiatives across the country.

He called on the people to remain united and committed to ensuring the continuity of both administrations in 2027, stressing that sustaining the current leadership would guarantee the consolidation of ongoing developmental projects and the delivery of more democratic dividends.

Hon. Akuga also lauded Hon. Prince Solomon Wombo, the Imienger I Tiv, for his unwavering commitment to community development through various empowerment programmes targeted at women and youths. He described Prince Wombo as a dependable leader whose interventions have positively impacted numerous lives across katsina-Ala and Sankera at large.

He further charged the people of katsina-Ala particularly the Township community to continue supporting the Executive Chairman of Katsina-Ala Local Government Council, Hon. Dr. Justine Shaku, whom he described as a father figure and a true friend of the Etulo community.

Hon Akuga noted that the chairman's inclusive leadership style and commitment to the welfare of all ethnic groups within the local government have fostered peace, unity, and development, adding that greater opportunities and benefits would continue to flow to the people through sustained support and cooperation.

The meetings witnessed robust participation from community stakeholders, youth leaders, women groups, and political supporters, all of whom reaffirmed their commitment to supporting the APC and its leadership at the state and national levels.

BREAKING NEWS

APPEAL COURT AFFIRMS OMALE AS APC CHAIRMAN IN BENUE STATE, DECLARES AGADA'S TENURE EXPIRED.

The Court of Appeal sitting in Makurdi on Wednesday has ruled in favour of the Dr. Benjamin Omale-led Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Benue State, holding that the tenure of the Austin Agada-led State Working Committee expired in February 2026.

In its judgment, the appellate court set aside the earlier position that recognized the Agada-led executive and held that there was no basis for the continuation of a tenure that had already elapsed.

The court maintained that since the tenure of the Agada-led executive expired in February, any claim to remain in office beyond that period could not be sustained.

Omale Maintain.
