Benue state Governor’s Aid, Champions Power Rotation and Calls for Unity in Apa

Obagaji- Benue state.

 

In a passionate appeal for political solidarity and systemic change, Honourable Idris Ojimbili, Senior Special Assistant to the Benue State Governor on community relations, has emerged as a pivotal figure in advocating for power rotation within the Apa and Agatu federal Constituency. During a recent gathering at his residence on July 11, 2025, Ojimbili urged local party members and residents to unite as the election season approaches, emphasizing the critical need for Apa to assert its place in the political landscape.

The gathering followed the solemn burial of a former chairman of the Agatu Local Government Area and provided a platform for Ojimbili to express his vision for the community. He articulated the necessity of organized efforts among aspiring candidates, underlining that the time has come for Apa to be prioritised in the power dynamics, suggesting that Agatu should now take a step back.

Ojimbili’s message reverberated with attendees as he stated, “It is not just about picking a candidate; it is about choosing representation that echoes the voice of our people.” His emphasis on unity and strategic collaboration resonated deeply, as he called on the community to prepare for the upcoming elections with a united front.

In a series of announcements shared on various social media platforms, Paul G. Edoh Jr., a prominent social rights activist in both Apa and Agatu, echoed Ojimbili’s call for unity and community engagement. Edoh Jr. encouraged the citizens to respond actively to this significant moment in their political journey, advocating for a cohesive approach to addressing the region’s aspirations.

Honourable Ojimbili further asserted the importance of selecting a candidate who is not only the people’s choice but also aligned with the Governor’s vision, ensuring that the representation is both popular and well-supported at the executive level. His dedication to power rotation reflects a commitment to fairness and equity in governance.

Support for Ojimbili’s initiative is bolstered by influential local leaders, including Honourable Abu Edoh, a state Assembly member representing Agatu, who also endorses the zoning initiative from the outset. Their collaboration fosters hope for united action among the local governments.

As the election year looms, Ojimbili’s emphasis on unity and strategic preparation resonates as an urgent call to action for the people of Apa. With strong leadership, collective strength, and a shared vision, both Apa and Agatu can work toward a future that embodies their dreams and aspirations.

In an increasingly polarized political landscape, Honourable Ojimbili stands out as a beacon of hope, demonstrating that transformative change is achievable through collaboration, integrity, and courage. With his guidance, the people of Apa are poised at a critical juncture, ready to forge a promising path ahead.
