2027: Benue gov’s aide urges North-Central residents to back Tinubu, Alia

Tersoo Kula, Chief Press Secretary to Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia, has called on residents of the North-Central region to support President Bola Tinubu’s bid for a second term in office in the 2027 general elections.

Kula made the appeal during an appearance on TVC News on Wednesday, arguing that Tinubu’s return to office would ensure continuity in the implementation of his administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

He defended the Federal Government’s economic reforms, describing them as essential measures for achieving sustainable economic growth and long-term prosperity. According to him, states across the North-Central region stand to benefit from the policies.

The governor’s spokesperson also linked Benue’s development efforts to the working relationship between the state and federal governments.

He explained that the Alia administration’s investments in agriculture, education and healthcare had received support from Tinubu’s economic policies, which he said had helped stimulate economic growth and increase federal allocations to state governments.

Kula further pointed to the reactivation of previously dormant industrial facilities, including Benue Brewery, Bensono Orange Juice Company and Taraku Mills, as evidence of the state government’s efforts to revive industrial activities and expand economic opportunities.

He also stated the activities of the Benue Investment and Property Company (BIPC), which has ventured into the production of bread, nails and steel as part of efforts to boost local manufacturing.

According to the governor’s aide, these initiatives demonstrate the state government’s efforts to utilise available financial resources to promote economic development.

On infrastructure, Kula listed urban renewal initiatives and road construction projects across Benue as some of the administration’s achievements.

He disclosed that the state government had commenced plans to construct three township roads in each of the 23 local government areas of Benue State.

The spokesperson added that the welfare of civil servants and pensioners remained a priority for the Alia administration.

Kula urged voters in Benue and other states in the North-Central region to support both Alia and Tinubu in the 2027 elections, expressing confidence that their continued leadership would sustain development efforts in the state, the region and the country.
