Agidani Advocates for Equitable Representation in Benue South

Engineer Gabriel Agidani is pursuing a senatorial bid for Benue South, emphasizing the need for equitable representation among the local government areas, particularly Apa and Agatu. The political landscape in Benue South has seen significant changes since the return to democratic governance in 1999, with the senatorial seat historically rotating among specific blocs.

David Mark held the seat from 1999 to 2019, becoming a prominent figure in Nigerian politics. Following Mark, Abba Moro took over, marking a shift in political dynamics.

Agidani argues for a conscious shift towards equitable representation, particularly for the Apa and Agatu areas, which have faced infrastructural deficits and security vulnerabilities. He believes that the senatorial seat should reflect the demographic weight of these regions and advocates for their direct representation in the Senate to address local challenges effectively.

Agidani's candidacy is positioned as part of a broader movement for justice and balance in the political representation of Benue South.
