The Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in Benue State, Michael Aondoakaa, SAN, has picked a 38-year-old, Dr Oyije Ochaekiti-Ogbenjuwa, as his running mate.
Aondoakaa, a former minister of justice and attorney general of the federation during the Umaru Yar’Adua administration, unveiled his running mate at the party’s state congress held in Makurdi on Sunday.
The PDP governorship candidate said the nomination of the young man was intended to demonstrate that the party is youth-friendly.
He added that his immediate priority, if elected in 2027, would be to halt the attacks and bloodshed in Benue communities.
