JOS, PLATEAU STATE — Benue State Governor, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia, has formally received the flag of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the party's candidate for the 2027 governorship election in Benue State.
The presentation took place on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at the Zaria Road Stadium in Jos, Plateau State, during the APC's zonal campaign rally attended by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, the party's national leadership and other prominent political figures.
The ceremony formed part of the party's broader mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general elections, providing an opportunity to formally recognise its candidates and consolidate support for its electoral ambitions across the region.
Governor Alia's presentation followed his emergence as the APC governorship candidate in Benue after winning the party's direct primary election conducted in May 2026. He polled 367,786 votes to defeat his challengers, Terwase Orbunde and Jeffrey Kuraun.
Receiving the party's flag at the gathering marks another significant milestone in the governor's political journey as he prepares to seek a second term in office.
The development also places Benue's 2027 governorship contest firmly within the unfolding political activities of the ruling party as it begins consolidating its structures and rallying support for its candidates.
With the presentation, Governor Alia now carries the APC mandate into the next phase of preparations for the 2027 governorship election.
