Governorship aspirant under the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Benue State, Dr Mathias Byuan, has expressed concern that despite substantial allocations from the federation account, the state has little to show for it, while insecurity continues to pose a major challenge.
Byuan said his entry into the governorship race was motivated by a determination to “rescue” Benue State from what he described as poor leadership and reposition it for growth and development.
He made the remarks on Saturday in Makurdi during the launch of local chapters of the Ahmed Bola Tinubu (ABT) Support Group, where he is promoting the “Bucket Revolution” initiative for Tinubu 2027.
For the 2027 election, he assured President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of no fewer than two million votes from the state
He said President Tinubu must be re-elected, citing what he described as transformative policies that have positively impacted Benue State and the country at large.
“I am a beneficiary of President Tinubu’s goodwill to Benue people, but I chose to resign my position to answer the call of my people who are in dire need of purposeful leadership,” Byuan said.
Outlining his vision, Byuan promised to prioritise security, improve the welfare of citizens through what he described as a “stomach infrastructure” ministry, and transform Benue from a largely civil service-driven economy to a viable commercial hub. He also pledged inclusive governance that would carry all segments of the state along.
The APC State Chairman, Dr Austin Agada, represented by the Deputy State Chairman, Benedict Aluga, commended Byuan for promoting unity within the party and mobilising support for its leadership.
In a goodwill message, Ambassador Philip Eche conveyed solidarity from Zone C, expressing confidence in Byuan’s leadership capacity.
Also speaking, the Director-General of the ABT Support Group, Dr Kaaulu Akerkpev, said the state stands to regain lost ground through Byuan’s candidature.
APC chieftain, Chief Jime Akaaka, described Byuan as a credible solution to the challenges facing Benue State and urged the electorate to support what he called the “Benue Rescue Mission.”
