His re-election is my priority, and by the special grace of God, he shall triumph victoriously,” he declared.
The message concluded with a note of thanks and a blessing for the state. “Thank you all, and may God bless Benue State,” Orwough signed off, leaving a lasting impression of unity and optimism for the future.
