All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant for the 2027 election in Benue State, Honorable Terwase Orburnde, has rejected the results of the party’s gubernatorial primaries announced on Friday, May 22, 2026, at the State Secretariat by Professor Mohammed Kabir Isah.
In a strongly worded statement, Orburnde said he would petition the relevant authorities within the party, citing widespread irregularities during the exercise. He claimed that most of his supporters across the state were denied the opportunity to vote as they waited in vain at their ward headquarters without election officials or voting materials showing up.
The former Chief of Staff to the Benue State Governor stressed that the outcome would have been different if all APC members had been allowed to participate. He, however, appealed to his supporters to remain calm and avoid any provocative actions, expressing confidence that the party’s internal conflict resolution mechanism would address his grievances.
Orburnde commended his supporters for their steadfastness despite alleged intimidation and inducements, assuring them that the truth would eventually prevail.
For his mind can he win Alia ?
