"Let us reach out to everyone. But we'll particularly focus on youths and emphasise on their inclusion in participation for us to attain our goal. These are a critical part on our drive ro reposition the party for future victory," Ayu told an excited Benue delegation who came ro celebrate his victory.

The Governor harped on justice, equity and fairness at all times, saying imposition in whatever form should not have a place in the PDP under the leadership of Senator Ayu. 


Senator Gabriel who represents Benue North East encouraged Benue people to unite and cease from pulling down their leaders and creating unnecessary gulf between leaders in the state, stressing that "it is this unity between myself,  the governor and Senator David Mark that ensured that Ayu emerged National chairman."
