On this, I want a quality leader with the wherewithal to tackle our problems headlong. We can collectively make this choice devoid of zoning, personal relationships with aspirants or affiliations with religious bodies, personal benefits to be derived therefrom and party platforms. Unfortunately, majority of us make our choices from these indices.
Before the maiden edition of consensus by the PDP in the state, I had a strong admirations for the following aspirants seeking to occupy Government House Makurdi across party line.
1. Engr. Barnabas Gemade
2. Prof Terhemba Shija
3. Ach. Joseph Ikyaagba
4. Pharm. Peter Chieshe
...and lately Mike Kaase AĆ“ndoakaa when I heard him discussing his dream for Benue. I have no personal affiliation or relationship with any of these personalities but my admiration of them is borne out of a strong conviction that they will strive to meet my expection of Benue. Note that I have friends and brothers aspiring to the same office, whose names are not mentioned above. Those i admire have no blood ties with me neither are they from my immediate constituency.
I have however restrained myself overtime from making this public because I'm neither a delegate nor a party official and may not have the opportunity to making a choice from the pool of aspirants I admire for the parties.
Ladies and Gentlemen, it is instructive to note at this point that our individual choices most times differ with the party's leadership choice. Those under my category can only make a choice from a pool of parties choices at the general elections.
My ten kobo advice: exercise restraints while the party has not yet nominate a candidate. Just pray that the party favours your candidate. Ka cii je la.
