Prof. Sebastine Hon (SAN), the governorship candidate for the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Benue State, has called for calm among his supporters following the omission of his name from the final list of candidates released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on October 10. The list included candidates from various parties, such as Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Michael Kaase Aondoakaa of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Hon stated on his verified Facebook page that he is collaborating with the SDP headquarters and has engaged INEC regarding the issue, which he described as a minor error that will be corrected promptly. He emphasized that he was the sole aspirant for the SDP and that his name had been uploaded to INEC's portal, asserting he has evidence of this.
The governorship election is scheduled for February 6, 2027.
