Ahead of the Governorship election, the Young Progressive Congress in Benue State chapter has adopted the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Titus Uba as their candidate for the next Saturday’s election.

Addressing newsmen in Makurdi on Thursday in Makurdi, the chairman of the party, Dr Hoo Gwadue explained that the party is not capable to win the coming governorship election in the state, hence, their support for the PDP governorship candidate.

Gwadue promised to mobilize the over 100,000 votes of their members across the state to the PDP governorship candidate.

“Unfortunately, we must tell ourselves the truth, victory is certain only when you know yourself and know your enemy but when you do not know yourself and your enemy defeat lingers.

“Our party is capable of polling over 100,000 votes but these votes can not give us victory in the state, so we have decided to align with PDP in the area of governorship candidate alone,” he said.

Gwadue said the reason for adopting the PDP governorship candidate was the doggedness of the Ortom-led administration to confront the herders’ invasion of the state.
