President Muhammadu Buhari recently appointed Jime as the Executive Secretary, Nigerian Shippers Council.
The North Central Youth Director in the Tinubu/ Shettima presidential council council, used the opportunity of the occasion to remind the gathering of Tinubu’s candidacy’s, progressive credibility and transformational abilities.
He said given Benue State’s current level of underdevelopment and indebtedness, the state will require sustained intervention from the federal government and other developmental bodies to move forward .
As a result, he urged the people to vote for all APC candidates contesting the forthcoming elections .
Msuaan concluded by urging APC members to be steadfast in their support for the party’s state Leader, Sen. George Akume, assuring them that all genuine commitments to the party will be rewarded.
Mr Cheren Terfa Jeremiah,
