Movement is entirely different from struggle and today one is convinced to say that the BOA 2023 gubernatorial ambition is a movement.
Earlier today his Excellency Engr Benson Abounu paid a consultation visit to the number one traditional ruler and chairman of Benue traditional council HRH the Tor Tiv prof James Ayatse and in his humble nature as always displayed he said he has come to consult and to seek the Blessing of his royal majesty and also to hear from him whether to ride on or not.
What a sign of respect and humility.
His Excellency went on to say he has come not necessarily as an Idoma man before his Majesty but as a Benue son who is standing on his personal credentials and experience to aspire to assume the number one seat in Benue, come 2023 to continue the good job his boss has done.
It was a festival of cars as the entourage had special and very senior citizens of the state including the nine local government chairmen of zone c.The delegations was led by his league of friends from zone A and B.
In his response, the Tor tiv his royal highness Prof James Ayatse who calls Engr Benson Abounu greatest and said it was a code for them that schooled in university of Ibadan as he jokingly said in Nigeria there are only two universities, university of Ibadan and others,He went on to say over the years he had watched and known his Excellency and can boldly state that he is intelligent, focus and very loyal.
He stated that he was moved and happy by the statement made by his Excellency that he had come as his son and as Benson Abounu who is a Benue son and not as an Idoma man.
He also stated that his Excellency is the most loyal and supportive deputy governor in Nigeria and that this quality stands him out amongst other aspirants.
He further stated that earlier before today the Ochi’ idoma who is the traditional leader of the Idomas visited to solicit for an Idoma governor and his words were kind and touchy enough.
His Royal majesty stated boldly that Engr Benson Abounu is welcome in his domain as he rides on with is consultations.
It won’t be a hyperbolic expression to say that his Excellency is the right man come 2023 by standards and event indications.
His Excellency also consulted with the Jemgba chiefs led by Tor Jemgba and the response were nothing different from the go ahead and assurance of support as stated by his royal majesty the Tor Tiv.
God is God and he makes kings in his time. Trust without doubt when I say the time for the most experience gubernatorial aspirant in Benue Engr Benson Abounu is now.
His Excellency the governor of Benue state Dr.Samuel Ortom has done well by adding to the wealth of experience Engr Benson Abounu had through assignments within and outside the state.
May God bless this project even as he is the anchor of our faith and the pilot of this project.

Fantastic. The Benson Abounu I know, shall surely use his wealth of tutelage from Governor Ortom, his experiences from the private and public sectors to take Benue State yo the desired height of Eldorado that we seek.
