By Isaac Uzaan

Benue State Governor Rev Fr Dr Hyacinth Iormem Alia has sworn-in seven newly appointed commissioners with a charge on them to act with integrity and always put the public interest first.

Performing the ceremony today at the Old Banquet Hall, Government House, Makurdi, Governor Alia told the commissioners that their emergence was not merely an elevation to public office, but a call to service and opportunity to contribute to the development and prosperity of the state.

He urged them to understand the weight of the responsibility they were assuming, adding that the oath they took was not to serve themselves or any particular interest group, but to serve the people of Benue State.

"​Let me equally remind you that public office is temporary, but the legacies you create through your service can endure for generations" he added.

The Governor advised them to be accessible to their people, listen to their concerns, visit their villages, interact with the electorate to understand the reality on ground rather than relying solely on reports.

"​I expect you to communicate, cooperate and share ideas. Where one ministry needs the support of another, provide it. Where responsibilities overlap, work together"

While assuring them of his support and cooperation, Governor Alia encouraged them to work together to build a Benue State where good governance is experienced not merely in government offices, but in the daily lives of our people.

Responding on behalf of the newly inaugurated commissioners, Rt. Hon. Nick Eworo thanked the Governor for trusting them with the responsibility to serve the people of the state as commissioners, and promised to be diligent and ensure fairness and accountability in the discharge of their duties.

Those sworn-in today include:
1) Hon. Kuma Aii Yenge,

The All Progressives Congress (APC), Benue State, has commended the Friends of Integrity Club, Makurdi Branch, for its steadfast support for Governor Hyacinth Iormem Alia and urged its members to champion a fact-based campaign on the administration’s achievements ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The State Secretary of Party, Hon. Solomon Katsina, gave the charge when members of the club, led by its Chancellor, Mr. Kenneth Akombo, paid a solidarity visit to the State Deputy Chairman of the party, Hon. Alphonsus Idyur, at the APC State Secretariat in Makurdi.

The visit was organised to identify with Hon. Idyur and celebrate his elevation to the position of State Deputy Chairman, while reaffirming the club’s commitment to the APC and Governor Alia’s bid for a second term in office.

Hon. Kachina commended Hon. Idyur for his dedication to the party, saying he had no cause to regret his association with him and applauding the Friends of Integrity Club for contributing a vibrant and committed personality to the party’s State Working Committee.

He also cited the administration’s ongoing road projects in Makurdi, particularly in the North Bank axis, noting that he had not witnessed any previous governor simultaneously undertaking the construction of three roads in the area.

The Party Secretary urged members of the club to communicate the achievements of the Alia administration accurately and responsibly as they mobilise support for the Governor’s re-election, stressing the importance of truthful representation in political advocacy.

Earlier, Chancellor of the Club Mr. Kenneth Akombo said the club visited the party secretariat to celebrate Hon. Idyur’s elevation and demonstrate solidarity with one of its members who had assumed a strategic position within the APC State Working Committee.

Other speakers, including Mr. Matthias Gbam, Rhoda Number, Hon. Comr. Upev and Iyav Bemdoo, reaffirmed their support for the APC and Governor Alia, while commending Ndyur’s leadership and commitment to the party.

Dr. Andrew Amine, who spoke on behalf of the members, urged Ndyur to remain focused and committed to the ideals of the party and to steer clear of any form of anti-party activity.

Responding, Hon. Idyur expressed appreciation to the Friends of Integrity Club for the gesture, describing the visit as a profound demonstration of love, solidarity and confidence in his leadership.

He said he was particularly humbled by the decision of the club to identify with him and the APC under the leadership of Governor Alia, assuring the delegation of his continued commitment to the responsibilities entrusted to him.

Hon. Idyur also urged members of the club to intensify their mobilisation efforts, individually and collectively, towards securing the re-election of Governor Alia, whom he described as a transformative leader deserving of a second term.

The highlight of the visit was the presentation of official portrait to Hon. Idyur by members of Friends of Integrity Club.

BENUE APC CHAIRMAN URGES OHIMINI STAKEHOLDERS TO BURY DIFFERENCES, UNITE FOR ALIA, TINUBU’S RE-ELECTION

Wednesday, August 19, 2026

The Benue State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Dr. Benjamin Omale, has charged political stakeholders in Ohimini Local Government Area to bury their differences, embrace unity and work collectively for the re-election of Governor Hyacinth Iormem Alia in 2027.

Omale made the call at the APC State Secretariat in Makurdi when he met with political leaders, elected representatives, party executives, Special Advisers and other key stakeholders from Ohimini as part of a peace and reconciliation initiative aimed at strengthening unity and cohesion within the party.

The APC chairman said personal interests, disagreements and divisive tendencies must not be allowed to weaken the party or undermine the collective aspirations and developmental interests of the people of Ohimini.

He urged the stakeholders to channel their energy towards grassroots mobilisation, effective party organisation and sustained support for the APC, including the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Alia and other candidates of the party in 2027.

“This is a time for hard work, unity and unwavering commitment. Let us channel our energy toward grassroots mobilisation and effective party organisation to ensure the successful re-election of His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, His Excellency, Rev. Fr. Dr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia, the Executive Governor of Benue State, alongside all other candidates of the All Progressives Congress,” Omale said.

He stressed that the APC is a family in which every member has a responsibility to contribute to building a stronger political structure, adding that the party’s strength depends on discipline, mutual respect, dialogue and collective responsibility.

Responding, the APC Chairman of Ohimini Local Government Area, Hon. Mrs. Patience Ichakpa, and the Local Vice Chairman of the Council, Hon. Mrs. Comfort Odihi, welcomed the peace initiative, describing it as an important step towards strengthening unity and cooperation among party stakeholders in the local government.

They pledged their commitment to the reconciliation process and called on APC members in Ohimini to put aside personal differences, work together and place the collective interest of the party and the people above individual considerations.

On his part, the Leader of the Ohimini Legislative Council, Hon. Christopher Odeje, commended the initiative and stressed the importance of unity among political leaders and grassroots members, noting that a united party would be better positioned to deliver victory for the APC in 2027.

Hon. Odeje also expressed the commitment of the legislative leadership to supporting efforts aimed at strengthening the party’s structure and fostering peace and understanding among stakeholders across the local government.

The Lead Point Man of Ohimini LGA, Hon. Wilfred Adegede, similarly commended Omale for bringing stakeholders together, saying the initiative had provided an opportunity for members to reconcile their differences and work towards a common political objective.

He said the stakeholders were prepared to strengthen grassroots mobilisation and support the APC’s programmes while working collectively towards the re-election of Governor Alia.

The Gubernatorial Liaison Officer, Hon. Yusuf Husani, also commended Governor Alia for his development efforts across Benue State, stating that the administration’s achievements provided a strong basis for stakeholders to unite and mobilise support for its continuity.

Hon. Husani urged APC members in Ohimini to sustain their support for the Governor and the party, stressing that political unity was necessary to consolidate the gains of the administration and attract further development to the local government.

The stakeholders consequently reaffirmed their commitment to peace, unity and effective grassroots mobilisation, while urging members to avoid actions and social media engagements capable of creating unnecessary tension within the party.

They resolved to move beyond past disagreements, respect constituted party leadership and work together in the interest of Ohimini, the APC and Benue State, with a renewed commitment to securing the re-election of Governor Alia in 2027.
