APC Ex-Guber Candidate Endorses Gov. Alia For Second Term

A former Nigerian ambassador to Namibia, Dr Terhemen Tarzoor, yesterday endorsed Gov. Hyacinth Alia for a second term.
Tarzoor told newsmen in Makurdi that he has decided to support Alia for a second term because of the visible transformation going on across Benue.
The former ambassador and 2015 People’s Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Benue said the governor was implementing the same vision he had when he vied for the position.
He said though his aspiration to govern the state did not materialise, he always believed that God’s plans were supreme, purposeful, and ultimately perfect at all times.
“Each time I visit our beloved state, I am inspired by the visible transformation taking place, from the remarkable urban renewal of our capital city to the spread of development projects across our rural communities.
“The renewed hope, the smiles, and the palpable satisfaction among our people speak volumes of a government working with sincerity, accountability, and a clear sense of purpose,” he said.
Tarzoor, who is also a former speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly, said he was convinced that Alia was leading the state with integrity, discipline, and genuine commitment to service.
He pointed out that the governor’s humility in leadership, results-oriented focus, and devotion to the welfare of Benue people deeply resonate with the ideals he had always cherished for the state.
He added that the governor’s emergence and performance have reawakened the ideals of purposeful leadership and inspired a new generation of Benue youths to once again believe in the promise of selfless public service.
“For these reasons, I wish to express my profound appreciation to Governor Hyacinth Alia for his exemplary stewardship and to affirm my total and unwavering support for his administration.
“I am particularly impressed by his massive qualitative infrastructural strides and his prudent management of state affairs.
“It is evident in the diversification of the economy towards industrialisation, human capital development, and his steadfast commitment to the welfare of workers.
“In light of these achievements, I wholeheartedly endorse Alia for a second term as Governor of Benue.
“I am committed to standing with him, lending my voice, resources, and every possible support to ensure that the progress we are witnessing is sustained and expanded for the greater good of all,” he said.
Tarzoor emphasised that the Alia administration opened a new chapter in the history of the state, one written in the ink of progress, purpose, and integrity.
“From this day forward, I pledge to stand firmly with this administration, offering every support within my capacity to ensure the success and continuity of its noble vision.
“I am deeply persuaded that under Alia’s guidance, Benue is on the path of genuine transformation, one that will define our history and shape a brighter, more prosperous future for generations to come,” he said.
He further appreciated Sen. George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, for all his support over the years, especially for recommending him for the ambassadorial appointment during the Muhammadu Buhari regime.
