Voters urged to replicate February 25 APC victory in guber polls

A former presidential aspirant on the All Progressives Congress platform, Moses Ayom, has appealed to Benue residents to replicate the victory recorded by the party in the presidential elections on March 11.
Mr Ayom made the call while inaugurating the Independent Campaign Council in support of Hyacinth Alia, APC governorship candidate, in Makurdi.
Commending the residents’ voting for APC during the presidential election, Mr Ayom urged them to come out en masse to vote for the governorship candidate.
“I appeal that you repeat the same during the governorship and state assembly polls by voting for Rev Fr Alia to usher in the desired Benue where people’s interest will occupy the centre stage,” Mr Ayom said.
He said it was his utmost desire to ensure Mr Alia emerged victorious with a landslide victory during the governorship election.
He assured that he was poised to work for the party’s overwhelming success in the last round of the general elections so the state would witness a turnaround in its political history.
He congratulated President-elect Bola Tinubu on his victory, appealing to him to support the emergence of someone from the Middle Belt to succeed him as Nigeria’s president at the end of his eight years in office.
