Governorship aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mr. Terver Akase, has pledged to be Governor for all indigenes of the state no matter the tribe, religion or political affiliation.
Mr. Akase made the pledge on Friday during the unveiling of his Manifesto/Website and Commissioning of Campaign Organization Headquarters in Makurdi.
He promised that “If given the mandate to lead the State in 2023, I will be your Governor, no matter where you come from; no matter which language you speak, which religion you belong to or which political party you support.
“God did not make a mistake when He brought us together as Tiv, Idoma, Igede, Etulo, Jukun and several other ethnic groups to make up a state called Benue. This state has given us so much. It is therefore incumbent on us to give our best to the state.”

The immediate past Chief Press Secretary to Governor Samuel Ortom said there was need for all Benue people to begin to collectively face the challenges confronting the state with a view to working together to surmount them rather than seeing the challenges as problem of Zone A, B or C.”
Presenting his manifesto christened “BENUE’ S-WEALTH Template,” Akase said that his vision and mission for Benue State as encapsulated in the BENUE’ S-WEALTH Template represents the core pillars of governance; S- Security, W- Wealth and Job Creation, E- Education, A- Agriculture and Economy, L- Land Reforms and Infrastructure, T- Technology, and H- Health.
“These are the cardinal pillars that will guide our administration to drive the implementation of this vision for the common good of Benue people, if I am entrusted with the mandate to govern come 2023.”
Akase said he intends to achieve his mandate through issues based and constructive engagements with the people and called on his supporters to always be peaceful and persuasive in canvassing support for the governorship project.
