The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Benue state, Revd. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, has expressed gratitude to the national leadership of the party, led by Senator Abdullahi Adamu, the leader of the party in the state, Senator George Akume, and the State Executive Committee of the party for organising a credible gubernatorial rerun, which saw him emerge victorious as the candidate of the party once more.
Fr. Alia equally appreciated all major stakeholders in the ‘Alialization Project’, the rural populace, the Benue community and the media for their solidarity and sacrifices in placing Benue on the threshold of a new dawn.
In a statement signed by Director of Communications, Alialization-Alia/Ode Campaign Organization 2023, Mr Tersoo Kula, Alia noted that the enthusiasm and determination depicted by people at various wards during the exercise has sent a message deep inside the minds of those, who want to stand on the way of an idea whose time has come.
He praises party members, who trooped out and voted for him during last Thursday’s court-ordered rerun gubernatorial primary elections in 11 Local Government Areas of the state.
“You have, once more, demonstrated clearly, your readiness to go all hog to ensure Benue must be fixed, and the future of your children thoroughly prepared. You spoke very loudly and confirmed once more, your earlier stand that I must fly the flag of our party, the APC.
“I am proud of you. You have, by that outing, assured me that the task must be accomplished. Benue must be redeemed and made great again. I’m further spurred, and my willpower stiffened,” he states.
According to the guber hopeful, he was truly overwhelmed by the massive show of love and solidarity, assuring that he will not take such for granted.
He assured that he is well-prepared and ready to lead the way for the liberation of the people of the state, who have been traumatized by hunger, illnesses, and destitution orchestrated by bad leadership that has deliberately denied them access to their legitimate entitlements and basic needs of life.
Alia, therefore, urged the electorates to dust their PVCs and get ready for the D-Day on March 11, to vote him to victory.
