The All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial candidate for Benue South, Comrade Daniel Onjeh has joined millions of well-wishers to felicitate with the Benue Governor-Elect, the Very Rev. Fr. Dr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia, on his 57th birthday.
In a statement on Monday. Onjeh said he was grateful to God for His exceeding grace, mercy and favour upon Father Alia’s life, which successfully saw him through 32 unbroken years of assiduous service in the Priesthood.
Onjeh added it was gratifying and a huge relief to the Benue people that God has blessed them with a true servant leader as Father Alia would be stepping into the saddle as Governor at a time when Benue was tethering on the brinks of becoming a parlous state.
He added that through God’s enduring mercy and guidance; and Father Alia’s selfless and visionary leadership, Benue State shall soon rise to greatness once again.

“Father Alia personifies absolute integrity, diligence, astuteness, selflessness and piety, which amongst other personal qualities enabled him to attain such huge milestones in his young age. We are exceedingly proud that Father Alia is bringing his several decades of vast experience in the service of God and humanity to bear in achieving a colossal paradigm shift in the governance, administration and development of Benue State,” Onjeh noted.
The statement further enjoined all Benue citizens to seize the momentous occasion to seek God’s face in prayers for Father Alia’s overall wellbeing as well as peace, unity and rapid development of Benue State under the incoming administration.
“Finally, on behalf of my family, friends and political associates, I pray that God should continue to grant Father Alia more wisdom, good health, discernment and peace of mind to steer Benue State to greater heights, while wishing him unprecedented success in his stewardship as Governor of Benue State come May 29th, 2023,” Onjeh stated.
