A frontline aspirant for the Benue State House of Assembly, Hon. Chila Andrew Aondofa, has taken a significant step in his 2027 political journey with a strategic engagement with the All Progressives Congress (APC) Executive Committee (EXCO) of Kendev Ward in Ukum.
The visit, which took place earlier today, was aimed at formally seeking the blessings, support, and endorsement of key party stakeholders in Kendev, widely regarded as a critical bloc in the Ukum State Constituency political landscape.
Speaking during the meeting, the immediate past Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism in Benue State, Hon. Mathew Abo, emphasized the importance of unity among aspirants. He reiterated that the State Assembly seat is zoned to Kendev and urged all contenders to embrace the outcome of the process in good faith, rallying behind whoever emerges victorious for the collective interest of the constituency.
In separate remarks, community leaders including Mr. Iorchir Bossua, representing Mbapor/Mbaagande, and Comrade Geoffrey Iorlaha from Ukenga/Vandev, commended Hon. Chila for what they described as his sterling qualities, leadership capacity, and grassroots connection. They expressed confidence in his aspiration and assured him of their full support.
The meeting was described by attendees as productive and impactful, reinforcing a shared vision centered on unity, progress, and effective representation for the people of Ukum.
In a symbolic turn of events, a downpour during the meeting was interpreted by many present as a sign of divine blessing, underscoring optimism and spiritual endorsement of the aspiration.
Hon. Chila was accompanied by a delegation of close allies and supporters, including the Chairman of his think tank and pointman for Torov, Mr. Manasseh Ordue; his Ucha counterpart, Barr. Sullah Kpor; Hon. Henry Maikyo; and several other supporters and well-wishers.
With growing momentum and increasing stakeholder engagement, Hon. Chila’s campaign continues to gain traction ahead of the 2027 elections, anchored on a message of restoration, inclusiveness, and purposeful leadership.
