“When the council took the decision to endorse and work for the re-election of President Buhari, it was in acknowledgement of his people-centred policies. This gesture to Benue State has vindicated our efforts for his re-election”, he said.
The group’s president maintained that, with the siting of several federal institutions in the state amongst other things, President Buhari has endeared himself to the people of Benue State.
