Reject Money-bags, Benue ADP Guber Candidate Tells Voters

Governorship candidate of the Action Democratic Party (ADP), in Benue State, Mrs Roseline Ada Chenge, has advised Benue people especially the youths not to allow money bags turn them to  slaves in the forthcoming elections.

Chenge, who spoke to newsmen in Makurdi on her agenda for the people pledged to make education the top priority of her agenda if elected as governor of the state.

She said, “As the governor of the state in the forthcoming elections, I will ensure that all state-owned tertiary institutions are tuition free so that the Benue child will have the opportunity to access quality education.

“I had contested for governorship in 2007, 2015 under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) but lost to the ex- governor, Gabriel Suswam at the primaries.

“Scholarships will be offered to people who are very brilliant so that they can go to whatever level of education they want so that at the end we will have more innovations and inventions from them.” 

The ADP candidate said housing and welfare of the civil servants in the state will be among the top priorities of her administration emphasising that “I will equate the federal civil service scheme with that of the state so that the state civil servants can earn like their counterparts at the federal level.”

Chenge, who served as managing director of Lower Benue River Basin Development Authority, recalled that she won an award as the Most-friendly Labour Executive, given to her by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Benue State chapter in 2013, saying “I’m a talk and do woman, I have done it before and believe me, I will do it again.”

She pledged the restoration of Benue State owned banks to empower the rural people with facilities to develop the state’s economy.

Chenge, who promised to make many billionaires out of the Benue youths urged them to vote for her as the governor of the state. She said their ability to deliver their polling units to Ada Chenge will ensure the restoration of the state in the interest of the people.
