Benue APC Factions Campaign Separately for Tinubu's Re-election
In Benue State, two factions of the All Progressives Congress (APC) are conducting parallel campaigns for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections. One faction is led by Governor Hyacinth Alia, while the other is aligned with Secretary to the Government of the Federation George Akume.
Alia's supporters are mobilizing for Tinubu's re-election, while Akume's camp is also supporting Senators Emmanuel Udende and Titus Zam, along with other APC candidates. The APC in Benue State has faced internal crises since the 2023 general elections.
Benedict Yawe, the State Publicity Secretary, stated that all members of the APC are united and open to campaigning together, while Daniel Ihomun from Akume's camp criticized Alia for failing to reconcile party members. Ihomun noted that President Tinubu had previously intervened to resolve the APC crisis in Benue but claimed Alia did not call for a unified meeting among party members.
