Echono's appeal was not merely a routine endorsement but a strategic call for loyalty, highlighting Benue's pivotal role in the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its influence on the party's future.

He emphasized the need for collective responsibility and steadfastness among APC members, stressing that the upcoming primary is crucial for reaffirming a shared vision for Nigeria's recovery and growth.
