Agundu commended Titi Abubakar for the visit, and promised that it would yield the desired results.
Former Speaker, Benue State House of Assembly, Mrs. Margaret Icheen, in her remarks, commended Governor Samuel Ortom and his wife for “working hard to make Benue better”.
Icheen expressed optimism that the party would win by a landslide margin at the polls.
Also speaking, Mrs. Rebecca Apedzan, a former commissioner in the state, appealed to the youths to rally support for the PDP because it was “the only political party that can take you off the streets”.
”Your joblessness will end as soon as the PDP wins the general elections; your vote for PDP will be for your overall good,” she said.
In a solidarity message, wife of former Senate President, Mrs. Helen Mark, expressed confidence that the PDP would do well in the forthcoming elections.
“With the massive support the party is enjoying, we are sure of winning the polls,” she said. (NAN)
