A law firm, the Renaissance Legal Consulting, has appealed to the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, to open the sale of Expression of Interest and Nomination forms for the newly restored state constituencies in Benue State.

In a request letter dated 15 May 2026 and addressed to the APC national chairman, the firm explained that following the official restoration of the five constituencies in Benue State including Ukum II State Constituency by National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Thursday 14 May 2026, a member of the ruling party, Hiifan Andrew Abuul, was interested to contest the 2027 election to represent the people of the new constituency.

The letter, which was signed by Barr Terhemba Wuaze, said the release of the APC forms by the National chairman would enable his client to pick the same and participate in the party’s primaries preparatory to the 2027 general election.

Parts of the letter read, “We are solicitors to Hiifan Andrew Abuul, our client, on whose instructions we so write.
