A prominent leader in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), George Ugese, has publicly declared his full support for Hon. Iveren Ukula’s aspiration to contest the Benue North-West Senatorial District seat in the 2027 elections. The endorsement, announced on January 6, 2026, highlights Ukula’s potential to bring fresh, people-focused representation to Zone B of the district.
Ugese praised Ukula as a visionary and grassroots-oriented leader whose campaign is built on service delivery, integrity, and a deep understanding of the challenges facing ordinary citizens. He described her as representing a new breed of politicians dedicated to active listening, citizen empowerment, inclusive development, good governance, and long-term sustainable progress across the senatorial zone.
“At a time when our voices require strong and credible representation, her decision to step forward is both courageous and inspiring,” Ugese stated, expressing confidence that Ukula’s combination of competence, compassion, and commitment will enable her to champion policies that uplift communities and secure a brighter future for the people of Benue North-West.
Remaining loyal to the ADC platform, Ugese pledged unwavering backing for Ukula’s bid while calling on party stakeholders, supporters, and voters to unite behind what he termed a journey toward purposeful leadership and meaningful positive change. The endorsement is seen as a significant boost to Ukula’s emerging campaign as political activities gradually heat up ahead of the 2027 general elections.
