Senator Abba Moro, the Senator representing Benue South Senatorial District and Senate Minority Leader, has expressed strong confidence that he will secure another term in the 2027 general elections.
Speaking with journalists in his office at the National Assembly on Thursday ahead of the June 12 Democracy Day celebration, Moro stated that the people of Benue South remain with him and are ready to renew his mandate based on his track record.
“I have not finished with my people yet, and my people have not finished with me,” Moro declared.
The lawmaker highlighted several constituency projects he has attracted to the district since his election to the Senate, including road construction, bridges, healthcare centres, water schemes, rural electrification, classroom construction, and youth empowerment programmes. He maintained that his stewardship and continued commitment to development would determine his return to office, insisting he still has much more to offer the people of Benue South.
Moro also addressed broader national challenges, expressing concern over rising inflation, unemployment, poverty, and insecurity, which he said are making life difficult for many Nigerians.
“Nigerians are hurting. Inflation is on the rise, unemployment is on the rise, poverty is increasing and insecurity is worsening,” he said.
He particularly raised issues about the security situation in Benue State and urged governments at all levels to take more proactive measures to protect lives and property.
Reflecting on the performance of the 10th Senate under the leadership of Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Moro noted notable legislative achievements, revealing that about 844 bills have been introduced in the Senate, with approximately 96 passed and more than 50 already receiving presidential assent.
Despite the challenges facing the country, the senator urged Nigerians not to lose hope.
“Building a nation is work in progress. We are not where we are supposed to be, but we must keep hope alive and believe that the efforts being made today will eventually yield results,” he said.
Moro’s declaration comes as political activities begin to heat up ahead of the 2027 polls, with many leaders already positioning themselves for re-election.
