The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Benue State, Chief Dr. Benjamin Omale, has inaugurated the State Chapter of the City Boys Movement Women Wing, charging members to uphold transparency, accountability, and integrity in leadership.
The inauguration ceremony took place on Monday, April 20, 2026. Speaking at the event, Omale described the women wing as a critical vehicle for grassroots mobilisation and empowerment. He commended the unity and resilience of women within the party structure and urged the newly inaugurated executives to take the message of government closer to the people, particularly at the community level.
Omale stressed the need for purposeful engagement in markets, homes, and local networks. “The APC will continue to support and work with you. Governor Hyacinth Iormem Alia has good intentions towards women empowerment in the state. Bring more women into the party, and the party will stand with you at all times,” he said.
In her welcome address, the State Women Coordinator of the movement, Hon. Mrs. Comfort Briggs Lokpobiri, said the event marked the beginning of a purposeful structure rather than a routine inauguration. “Today, we are not just forming a structure; we are building a movement of purpose,” she stated.
Mrs. Lokpobiri noted that the group would prioritise grassroots engagement, women empowerment, and effective communication of leadership vision and achievements across the state. She charged members at both state and local government levels to approach their responsibilities with dedication, discipline, and a strong sense of duty.
Also speaking at the event, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Women Affairs, Mrs. Scholastica Ben-Sor, congratulated the inaugurants and emphasised the need for discipline, accountability, and endurance in leadership. She described the women wing as an advocacy platform aimed at promoting good governance at the grassroots while strengthening women’s participation in politics.
The event featured the formal inauguration of the State Executive Council and Local Government Coordinators, with a charge to operate strictly within the constitution guiding the organisation.
The ceremony was attended by Benue APC working and non-working committee members, the State Director of the City Boys Movement, Hon. Tiza Isaac Imojime, representatives of key government officials, and other stakeholders, who pledged support for the growth and success of the movement.
The inauguration is expected to boost women’s participation and mobilisation efforts for the APC in Benue State ahead of future political activities.
