A Catholic Priest, Rev. Fr Hyacinth Iormem Alia, has won the governorship primary election rerun conducted by the All Progressives Congress, APC, in 12 Local Government Areas and 3 council wards in Buruku Local Government Area of Benue State.
Announcing the results on Thursday, 9th June, 2022 at the APC State secretariat in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, chairman of the rerun committee, Mr Joel Omajali, said a total number of 366,546 voters were registered, 292,930 accredited, a total of 270,353 votes were validly cast while Fr Alia polled 195,314 votes to come out victorious.

According to Omajali, Prof. Terhemba Shija scored 1,859, Terlumun Ikya scored 2,746, Bernard Yisa 338, Mathias Byuan1,4152, Sam Ode 21698, Godwin Ityoachimin 860, Barnabas Gemade 3,831, Michael Kaase Aondoakaa 3,517, Herman Iorwase Hembe 720, Terwase Orbunde 1,393, Steven lawani 23,925 and Ayom Mlanga, 0000.

The rerun was conducted in Ogbadibo, Ushongo, Konshisha, Oju, Apa, Kwande, Agatu, Ohimini, Ado, Obi, Okpokwu and Apa Local Government Areas.

Secretary of the Committee, Emma Maji, described the rerun election as free, fair and credible.

Shortly after the declaration of results, State Deputy Chairman of the party, Hon. Stephen Tsav, on behalf of the State Chairman, Comrade Austin Agada, presided over a congress that affirmed the outcome of the rerun gubernatorial primary election.

The Benue APC had conducted its governorship primary election on the 27th of May, 2022 with Alia as the winner. But some aspirants including Chief Barnabas Gemade, Chief Mike Aõndoakaa, Dr Mathias Byuan, Chief Stephen Lawani and Prof. Terhemba Shija wrote a petition to the National Working Committee of the party, calling for cancellation of the election, pointing out various electoral malpractices. Consequently, the NWC ordered for a rerun in 12 local governments which was accordingly held on the 8th and 9th June, 2022 and Alia maintained his landslide victory.

People have woken up ...it's no longer about party now it's about the person

Wish APC wins Benue , PDP wins osun , ekiti I don't know the candidate , wish APGA or labor wins Enugu , APC wins ebonyi , labour or APC wins abia ,
APC rivers , PDP Delta , APC cross rivers , PDP akwa Ibom , APC Lagos

Labour presidency

Benue is a goal for APC already with Rev. Fr Alia on the ballot. With this development APC should clear Kogi, Kwara, Benue, Niger and Nasarawa state in north central. Plateau is the only state in NC that May go to PDP at the presidential election.

APC will win Ekiti and Osun. There is absolutely no way we are losing those two states with Tinubu on the ballot.

Labour can only come 3rd or 4th. Take it to the bank. Obi is a regular politician. Nothing special about him. He was a Gov of Anambra state, nothing really changed in Anambra as we speak now

Afamed:

I doubt Bauch. Bala Mohammed will deliver the state to Atiku.

plus sokoto, the APC candidate tambuwal defeated with 300 votes has retain the APC gubernatorial ticket.

Take it to the bank. Bauchi is no go area to PDP now. The choice of Abubakar Sadiq has changed the whole scenario. Couple with the non performance of the PDP Gov. Bauchi is purely a civil servants state. And Mohammed as we speak , has not been doing well regards the workers welfare.

Great then. Dogara is also very influential in the state so let’s see how it goes.

Asiwaju is goal. Lagos is the template.
The difference is clear. Both Asiwaju and Obi were Govs. Compare and contrast, Lagos with Anambra as we speak

It doesn’t matter who you’re taking to. What’s important is for me to tell you what’s obtainable and nothing else. If you don’t like it, go choke on your spittle.

When I told you Alia is going to rule Benue come 2023, you thought I was joking. This time around, PDP will be disgraced out of that office. Catholics constitute majority, and they are determined through Alia to get to the government house coupled with non performance of Samuel Otorm.

Lol ...tell me again how did a mere Mobil auditor become as rich as tinubu again ?

You are very funny. So you think APC will win Benue with Muslim Muslim ticket?? You people don't understand the religious sensitiveness of Benue state. I can assure you that if apc tries Muslim Muslim ticket, they will struggle seriously in NC as a whole. Only Niger and Kwara they may win. But you see Governorship 2023, it's for Alia
That guy will floor PDP in that election.

Igbochief001:

Lol ...tell me again how did a mere Mobil auditor become as rich as tinubu again ?

Until you are able to compare Awka with Ikeja, until you are able to compare Onitsha with Lagos Island. Until you are able to compare Ihiala with VGc. Until you are able to compare Nnewi with Lekki. Until you are able to campare Agulu with Maryland. You and Obi remain jokes

Until you are able to show me the Anambra Atlantic city, modern Nnewi free trade zone and capital development. Red and Blue line rail track at Ekwulobia.
You and Obi remain local champions

All those places have been big long before tinubu became governor
