Benue State Governor Hyacinth Alia's administration will be judged by its achievements in the upcoming 2027 governorship election, according to the Chief Press Secretary, Sir Tersoo Kula. Kula criticized the opposition, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its allies, accusing them of resorting to "tantrums, lies and political theatrics" due to their inability to present a convincing alternative to Alia's administration.
He emphasized that Governor Alia's focus on infrastructure, industrialization, workers' welfare, and investment promotion has enabled the state to rebuild through roads, industries, improved welfare, care for senior citizens, and billions of naira in investments. Kula highlighted the administration's improvement in accountability and transparency, as well as the restoration of Benue's creditworthiness, which has created a more favorable environment for investors.
He also mentioned the recent signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Hudson Global Ltd for a proposed $5 billion investment, further demonstrating investor confidence. Kula contrasted the current administration with the previous government, alleging that workers and pensioners faced prolonged delays in receiving their entitlements under the previous administration.
He questioned Ortom's record on internally displaced persons, local government autonomy, public finances, and security, as well as his political activities and relationship with the APC and the NDC presidential candidate, Peter Obi. Kula defended the current administration against accusations of silence on the recent killings in Ayilamo, stating that securing lives and property remains a top priority.
He also challenged Ortom and Kula to account for their records in public office rather than criticizing the current administration. Ultimately, Kula asserted that Benue people will decide the 2027 election based on the achievements achieved under Alia's administration, rather than political statements or partisan spin.
