The Governor said “There is no vacancy for any Deputy Governor in 2027. I have a Deputy Governor who understands governance, who is people oriented. He is always with the people and for the people, one who is very cerebral.
“For anyone thinking otherwise I do not know. My Deputy is very capable. He has all the capacity it takes to perform his functions. He understands what is good for Benue and that is what he is doing exactly.
“So if anybody is eating and dreaming Deputy, there is no vacancy. I love him, I enjoy working him. I enjoy a personal relationship, so for those wishing the negativity, they won’t have their way.”
