The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Benue State has expressed commendation regarding the smooth and peaceful conduct of its recent ward and local government congresses, which took place statewide. The party's Chairman of the Ward and Local Government Congress Committee, Usman Musa, conveyed this positive assessment during a press briefing at the party's secretariat in Makurdi, where he acknowledged the role of security agencies and other organizations in facilitating the process. Musa emphasized that the cooperation between various stakeholders, including the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officials and party elites, was crucial to the successful execution of the congresses.

Musa highlighted that the committee assigned by the National Working Committee (NWC) to oversee the proceedings was satisfied with how events unfolded, despite noting that a remaining event was scheduled for the following day. He emphasized the collaborative efforts and support from all involved parties as key factors contributing to the orderly conduct of the congresses, reflecting well on the APC's internal party management. This approach signifies the party's strong organizational framework as it prepares for upcoming elections in the state.

Governor Rev. Father Alia was specifically mentioned in Musa’s remarks, receiving praise for his guidance throughout this process. The positive atmosphere of the congresses is indicative of a more significant effort by the APC to present a united and organized front as challenges loom on the political landscape. This successful endeavor not only showcases the party's internal mechanisms but also underscores the importance of community and stakeholder engagement in the political process, setting a potential precedent for future events within the state’s political dynamics.
