Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Gboko Local Government Area, Terfa Iorgilim, has thrown his weight behind the re-election bid of Governor Hyacinth Alia. The party chieftain, who hosted the Mbavarakaa people of Mbatiav, maternal kinsmen of Governor Alia, to a New Year get-together, said that the re-election bid of the governor is a “Mbaavarakaa project”. According to him, the governor donated the New Year gifts to the community through him, and he, in turn, deemed it appropriate to personally deliver the governor’s goodwill to his people. Iorgilim urged the people of Mbaavarakaa to take the governor’s re-election project seriously and advised against any action capable of undermining it ahead of 2027. He called on the community to distance itself from anyone who might work against the governor’s interest.
