Kwande Intermidiate axis bids for 2027 governorship in Benue

The Kwande intermediate axis in Benue State has declared its interest in the 2027 governorship seat of the state.

This was declared during a press conference by Movement for the Actualization of Kwande Gubernatorial Ambition, MAKGA.

The Kwande intermediate axis include Kwande and Ushongo Local Government Areas of the state.

Convener of the group, Leonard Ikyem, said, “We, the offspring of the dynamic, patriotic and progressive people of the Kwande intermediate area, comprising Kwande and Ushongo local government areas of Benue State, wish to inform the good people of Benue of our desire to renew the Governorship ambition of the Kwande people in 2027.

“As we are all aware, the democratic process in Nigeria will open another chapter in 2027 with fresh opportunities and we intend to mobilize our people to step forward and explore this new frontier.

He said that the arguments upon which Kwande axis canvassed for the highest elective position in the state, which could not be realized in 2023, still remain valid.

Ikyem said that the established tradition of selfless, committed and dedicated service to the people of the state was one of the arguments.

The group assured that if the axis is given another opportunity it will not only sustain that tradition but surpass the yet to be matched milestones achieved by the first executive governor of the state, Aper Aku of blessed memory.

“We hereby solicit the support of the Benue electorate as we embark on this noble democratic quest to sustain and actualize our ambition”
