“Our elections are from top to bottom to ensure that all our candidates win comprehensively. We need to close ranks to avoid the mistakes of the 2019 elections, by being united and focused. As opposition in the state and working against a mischievous group that is ready to use all the resources of the state to stop us from liberating our task, we need to work in synergy with all our stakeholders and Benue people who have already embraced our winning team. Their house is already divided, we only need solid commitment amongst ourselves to bury them.

“Our focus must not only be on the best team that can move the country and state forward, but those who can carry everyone along irrespective of religion, region and ethnicity. As a people, we need to rescue our state from the failed PDP and its leaders that are only interested in primitive accumulation of all our resources. The time to stop the pillage of our collective resources which has turned us into slaves and beggars is now. We have a choice to change the narrative.”

He said with the combined teams of Tinubu/Shettima at the national level and Alia Ode in the state, Nigeria and Benue will take their rightful places as prosperous and developed entities.

The minister said:

“We must return our people to the farms with improved technology. We must ensure that our civil servants enjoy the fruits of their labour. We must ensure that the labour of our heroes’ past shall not be in vain by paying pensions and gratuity accrued to them. We must know our state salary wage bill. There must be transparency and accountability in governance. We shall know our collective desires and ensure that we achieve it for the good of all.
