In the upcoming 2027 general elections, a new decisive factor has emerged for candidates intending to contest in Benue State, particularly in the Tiv area.
To secure electoral victory, aspirants are increasingly expected to publicly acknowledge the existence of Christian genocide in the state.
Conversely, candidates who either remain silent on this issue or publicly deny the occurrence of Christian genocide risk significant electoral defeat.
The traditional criteria of competence and past achievements have been overshadowed by candidates’ positions on this sensitive matter.
Regardless of a candidate’s qualifications or political history, endorsing the reality of Christian genocide effectively guarantees electoral success ahead of the poll. On the other hand, denying this issue has proven to be politically detrimental.
This development highlights a shift in electoral dynamics, raising concerns about the exploitation of communal issues for political gain. It is, therefore, a call for vigilance and divine protection against manipulative political agendas.
The question begging for an answer is: *WILL THIS BE EFFICACIOUS?*
