Benue : New coalition emerges to challenge APC in 2027 polls
A new coalition of political players and groups has emerged in Benue State, promising to challenge the All Progressives Congress, APC, and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s long-standing supremacy in the general elections of 2027. This represents a significant political upheaval in the state.
The coalition, which comprises stakeholders from across the Benue South Senatorial District, convened over the weekend at Haggi Suite, Otukpo, where dialogue centered on the formation of a formidable third-force movement aimed at redefining the political landscape in the state were made.

Following this, Former Benue State PDP Chairman Chief John Ngbede delivered a harsh assessment of the party’s current situation, calling it “decayed and hijacked by selfish interests.” He bemoaned the fact that the party no longer represented the people’s goals as a whole.
“The PDP has been taken over by individuals who build barriers instead of bridges. They have imported poverty and division into our communities. It’s time to unite under a new coalition that will restore hope,” Ngbede declared.
The emergence of the coalition has drawn massive support from all nine local government areas of Benue South Apa, Agatu, Ado, Ogbadibo, Ohimini, Otukpo, Okpokwu, Oju, and Obi.
