*’Masses Will Re-elect Him’
By Sam Tyav, Makurdi
An All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Dr. Mark Nyitse has described Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Iormem Alia, as the state’s messiah, saying he is focused on salvaging people of the state from the challenges confronting them.
Speaking exclusively to People&Politics, Dr. Nyitse, who is Director of Planning in the Tinubu/Alia Campaign Council, congratulated the Governor for his service delivery feats which,he noted, had qualified Alia to run, maintaining that he will eventually be re-elected in next year’s poll.
Dr. Nyitse noted that the Governor’s emergence as the party’s flag bearer represents renewed hope for the aspirations of Benue people for inclusive leadership and sustainable development.
The university don described Gov. Alia as a leader who is committed to inclusive governance, particularly in his deliberate efforts to create opportunities for women and young people to participate in governance to enable them contribute meaningfully to the state’s development.
The former Director of Research and Publication at Benue Public Service Institute Makurdi noted that the Governor’s approach to leadership clearly demonstrates that governance should accommodate every segment of society, irrespective of gender, age or social background.
Nyitse observed that the current recognition of women and youths in the state’s political and administrative structure unarguably reflects the aspirations of Benue people for a government that gives everyone a sense of belonging and opportunity.
The Director of Planning maintained that the presentation of the APC flag to Gov. Alia represents the true will and aspirations of Benue masses.
Dr. Nyitse expressed confidence in the importance of unity, inclusion and collective responsibility in advancing the state’s development.
As Director of Planning of the Tinubu/Alia Campaign Council, Dr. Nyitse vowed to contribute immeasurably to effective planning, coordination and mobilisation towards actualizing the campaign’s objectives.
The APC heavyweight called on party stakeholders, supporters and the general public to sustain peaceful political engagement and work towards a united and progressive Benue State.
He expressed confidence that Gov. Alia would certainly return to Government House Makurdi to continue with the good work which, according to him, has endeared him to Benue people.
