ADC Candidate David Olofu Unveils Plans for Benue South

Chief David Olofu, the ADC Benue South senatorial candidate, announced his plans during a visit to the Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) in Makurdi. He pledged to establish a People’s Assembly and People’s Council within his first 100 days in office if elected.

These institutions are intended to provide a platform for residents to identify their needs and hold elected representatives accountable. Olofu, a former commissioner of Finance in Benue state, emphasized the importance of improving agriculture through land development, irrigation, and fish farming to boost productivity and create economic opportunities.

He also plans to lobby the Federal Government for the development of the district’s mineral and petroleum resources. Addressing insecurity, Olofu proposed a coordinated security structure involving communities and security agencies, supported by a command-and-control center.

His agenda focuses on reforming political representation to ensure elected officials are more responsive and accountable to their constituents.
