ABUJA: A group of political heavyweights within the All Progressives Congress APC in Benue State, including former loyalists of the state Governor, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, has pledged loyalty to the leadership of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation SGF, Senator George Akume, as the 2027 general elections draw nearer.
The group, led by a former Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers Council, Barr. Emmanuel Jime, and cutting across the state’s three senatorial districts of Zone A, Zone B and Zone C, made the declaration when they visited Akume in Abuja.
Other political leaders at the event included Douglas Pepe (SAN), Prof. Cephas Tushima, Engr. Peter Ashiekaa and Prof. USAR, alongside Qs Beetseh, Joy Liga, Chief Nelson Alapa, Chief Patrick Idoko, Hon. David Igbosa, Comrade Austin Agbada and Hon. Dr. Msoo Igbo, among others.
Media adviser to the SGF, Yomi Odunuga, who diagnosed this in a statement on Tuesday night, noted that Akume, a former governor of the state, thanked the delegation for their support and commitment, urging them to remain united and focused on the collective development of the state.
