  "account": "An organization comprised of Concerned Benue APC Stakeholders has expressed its backing for the re-election of Governor Hyacinth Alia and President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections. In a press conference held in Abuja, Dr. Dominic Alancha, the convener of the group and Spokesman of the Strategic Alliance Group, denounced anti-party activities, indiscipline, and disunity within the Benue State chapter of the People's Democratic Party (PDP). Alancha admitted to having previously advocated against Alia's re-election bid but claimed that his previous stance was clouded by a political bias, which has since been rectified. He emphasized that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is an entity that belongs to all its members and is larger than any individual leader, aspirant, or faction. Alancha cautioned that the party should not be jeopardized by personal ambitions, stating that loyalty to the party and its collective interests should be prioritized.",
