In what can only be described as a political earthquake in Benue State, thousands of supporters flooded the streets of Kwande Local Government Area for the All Progressives Congress (APC) mega decamping event, signaling a dramatic shift in the region’s political landscape. Dubbed “into YES FATHER Fold,” the rally saw a sea of enthusiastic defectors pledging allegiance to the APC under the leadership of Hon. Prince Moses Ternenge.
The event, captured in viral photos circulating on social media, showcased an overwhelming crowd stretching across multiple venues, with attendees donning party colors, waving flags, and chanting in unison. The sheer scale of the gathering—estimated to be one of the largest political defections in the state’s recent history—underscored a growing wave of support for the APC’s vision in the area.
At the heart of this political realignment is Hon. Prince Moses Ternenge, a prominent figure whose influence continues to resonate across Kwande and beyond. The phrase “YES FATHER Fold” has emerged as a rallying cry, symbolizing unity, loyalty, and a collective embrace of the APC’s agenda under his guidance.
Social media has been abuzz with reactions, with users like Asortar James Asortar and Uta Steve Aondona sharing images of the mammoth crowd, captioned with heartfelt endorsements. One post read, “APC MEGA DECAMPING IN KWANDE LGA into YES FATHER Fold under the Leadership of Hon. Prince Moses Ternenge. ALIA DOO ,” reflecting the deep emotional connection supporters feel toward both the party and Governor Hyacinth Alia.
The decamping ceremony wasn’t just a political spectacle—it was a statement. Defectors, many of whom were previously aligned with opposing parties, cited disillusionment with the status quo and a desire for progressive leadership as their reasons for switching sides. Hon. Ternenge’s reputation for grassroots mobilization and development-focused governance appears to have been a key factor in this mass movement.
As the APC strengthens its foothold in Kwande LGA, political analysts are watching closely to see how this development will impact upcoming elections and power dynamics in Benue State. For now, one thing is clear: the “YES FATHER Fold” is more than a slogan—it’s a movement, and it’s growing.
With the crowd still echoing in the background and red hearts flooding comment sections, the message from Kwande is unmistakable: change is here, and it’s wearing APC colors.
