Barr. Emmanuel Jime, APC governorship candidate in Benue State, said he will do the work required to clinch victory in the forthcoming supplementary election to be conducted by INEC in some parts of the state.

The candidate in a statement by the secretary of Jime Ode Campaign Organisation, Prof. Eugene Aliegba, noted that the APC would present itself for the rerun elections when the electoral umpire fixed a date.

“As a law-abiding party, we recognise the decision by INEC as legally binding. We remain upbeat and urge our supporters to stay calm and optimistic ahead of a rerun date. We will do the work required to clinch victory and earn the mandate of Benue people,” he stated.

The statement lauded the electorate, party faithful and supporters who trooped out in their numbers to queue behind its governorship candidate, Jime and all other candidates of the APC.
