Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, on Monday pledged to deliver at least 620,000 votes for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election, double the 310,468 votes the President garnered in the state during the 2023 presidential election.

Alia made the declaration while addressing journalists after meeting Tinubu at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja, alongside former Governor Gabriel Suswam.

He said Suswam’s alignment with the APC was among the political developments strengthening the ruling party’s prospects in the state.

“I am very confident that as I won the election, even the first time, we are going to double the numbers for him.
