The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has declared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is losing political relevance in Benue South ahead of the 2027 general elections, expressing confidence in its senatorial candidate, David Olofu.
Rexino Oguche, Director of Publicity of the David Olofu Campaign Organisation, Zone C, said Olofu was recording growing support in the district, just as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar was making significant political gains in northern Nigeria.
“Atiku is doing very well in the North, just like David Olofu, PhD, is doing extra-well in Benue South, and the ailing PDP is diminishing in Benue South,” Oguche declared.
He said the ADC campaign would seek to “cleanse Idomaland of hired endorsers,” accusing political outsiders and mercenaries of attempting to infiltrate the district’s political space.
“We are Benue Southerners and we reject the infiltration of our territory by political mercenaries,” he said.
Oguche expressed confidence that Olofu would secure victory in 2027 through what he described as organic grassroots support, urging voters to rally behind the ADC candidate.
He concluded with the campaign’s slogan: “Vote ADC. Support. Believe.”
