Speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly, Mr. Titus Uba has emerged the consensus candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, from the 14 Tiv speaking Local Government Areas, LGAs, of Benue state.


The leaders of the PDP in the 14 LGAs also known as the G-14 Sunday in Makurdi nominated Mr. Uba ahead of other candidates from Vandeikya LGA where the position was zoned to by the party. He was thereafter handed over to Governor Ortom and other leaders of the party in the state who were gathered at the Benue Government House banquets hall.

The Speaker would have to contend with the Deputy Governor of the state, Mr. Benson Abounu who emerged as the consensus candidate of the party from the nine Idoma speaking LGAs of the state also known as the Benue South senatorial District.



A top party official told Vanguard in confidence that both candidates may be prevailed on to step down for the other in order to arrive at the final consensus candidate of the party.

“But if in the event the party is unable to convince any of the two candidates to step down for the other, they would be made to go through the primaries and the process will go down to the wire.



“But the party will do everything possible to ensure a rancour free process as has been the case from the onset and we hope that the process will culminate in the successful emergence of the candidate of choice,” he said.

Mr. Uba, born September 25, 1965, represents Kyan State Constituency. He emerged Speaker of the 8th Assembly in July 2018 after the impeachment of the former Speaker Mr. Terkimbi Ikyange which was backed by 21 out of the 30 member State Assembly. He was re-elected Speaker of the 9th Assembly in 2019, a position he has held till date.



Reacting to his emergence, the Speaker appreciated Governor Samuel Ortom, the State Working Committee, SWC of the PDP, Elders and Stakeholders of the party in the state for finding him worthy to be a consensus candidate.

He also thanked the National Chairman of the PDP, Dr Iyorchia Ayu, Senators Gabriel Suswam and Orker Jev, Members of G-14, other critical stakeholders and co-aspirants for the rare show of love.



Uba said he owed the general public and indeed Benue people a special debt of gratitude for believing in the United Benue Agreement 2023 project, promising to do everything within the confines of the law to justify the confidence reposed in him.

I wonder who deceived him to contest. Ortom Indeed doesn't like him.

In the end this will not make any sense.

Adding this consensus candidate to the electoral bill was rubbish this is the new and cheap rigging method in town now.
While spend hundreds of millions on delegates, when u can sponsor 10 aspirants that will pick among themselves through consensus.

benuejosh:

No,ortom alongside suswan produced him

Kyase:


This one don lose election

To who? I believe he is suswan stooge

garfield1:


To who? I believe he is suswan stooge

To APC
If you know what Akume is planning for next year ehn

This one that runs around calling Ortom "Daddy". Defeat awaits him, even his own kinsman don't like him... Rev. Fr. Alia is the real deal. Anything associated with Ortom is a no go area, those in Benue know better.
Uva endorsed and the whole town was quiet, Rev Alia, commission campaign office and the whole town is on stand still. We are waiting...

Kyase:

I thought apc is in disarray in Benue? Akume is supporting tinubu while jime is with amechi while ortom/suswan are teaming up

Forget what's happening at the national level

Benue voting pattern has nothing to do with national politics

Benue south will decide who becomes governor....

He is the governor's candidate. He has served the governor well.
It's pathetic that governorship in Benue is now a tribal contest. No matter how poorly a governor performs in Benue, he will be re-elected by his tribesmen.

Titus UBA.

He will contest against Catfish GTB

garfield1:

Ortom and Suswam are NEVER in good terms. Don't let anybody deceive you.

Another Tiv man ?

benuejosh:
Ortom and Suswam are NEVER in good terms. Don't let anybody deceive you.

They are.since ortom rejoined pdp,they have been collaborating

Benue south can never decide Benue gov.jime won there in 2019 but still lost.the only thing is if APC can present someone from zone B again who will promise to handover to zone C

garfield1:

The race between PDP and APC in zone A and zone be will be tight, now the party that do well in zone C will most likely win

garfield1:


Benue south can never decide Benue gov.jime won there in 2019 but still lost.the only thing is if APC can present someone from zone B again who will promise to handover to zone C

Then Benue south should vote for their own in another party let APC and PDP share their votes among TIVs let Idoma go to different party like SDP and vite their own simple

Kyase:

Apc has been doing well in oju and obi.maybe Daniel onjeh or that peace corps guy should be deputy.apc can also get Abba Moro to defect
