Guber Race: Another coup plot against Joe Kyaagba in Benue Gov race exposed

The masterminded results of the  Vandeikya PDP caucus towards the pruning down of governorship aspirants without stated parameters if condoned by the state party machinery paints a very poor credibility quotient for the party going forward. 

Such sponsored mischief to discountenance credible PDP aspirants in an undemocratic and non transparent approach that throws up poor leadership recruitment for the state will only shoot the PDP in the foot as the public is watching anxiously for the quality of emerging party candidates to decide their direction of voting. 

From the round of consultations being made by the Vandeikya  aspirants across the state, the pedigree, performance antecedents and blue prints presented by Arc. Joe Kyaagba and Dr Paul Angya, give much hope to the Benue electorate and PDP stakeholders in Benue State.

To place Prof Ityavyar first after his extremely abysmal performance as commissioner of Education and chairman Economic team of the Ortom administration suggests the mediocre judgement of the delegates and complete insensitivity to the fortunes of the PDP in the 2023 general elections. 

The 2026 gang up by the Kunav people to hoist trumped up charges, arrest, detain, prosecute and force the exit of Joe Kyaagba from the Ortom government, was obviously a calculated attempt at frustrating his assailing candidature to the 2023 Governorship contest. This is yet another miscalculated attempt at casting doubts about his popularity.

The attempted muscling of Joe Kyaagba known to all in the state as an astute stricker for the party with very high ratings across the state as the governorship hopeful for Benue State will cast a low morale among the Benue electorate. 

The more the efforts at preventing the PDP from putting their best foot forward, while the APC are tinkering with the likes of Prof Terhemba Shija and the renowned Catholic healing priest Fr Hyacinth Alia Ph.Ph.D.he ruling party in Benue State is unwittingly be singing their REQUIEM song for the dead. The lessons of 2015 PDP electoral losses in Benue State must not be forgotten too quickly.
