…Ortom backs his competence
By Peter Duru, Makurdi
Former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Chief Michael Aondoakaa (SAN), has been formally affirmed as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate for the 2027 election in Benue State, pledging to restore security, revive agriculture, and rebuild public trust in governance.
Aondoakaa, who emerged as the party’s consensus candidate in Makurdi last week, unveiled 38-year-old Oyije Ogbenjuwa as his running mate during the affirmation ceremony at the party’s congress held on Sunday.
