APC Chieftain, Onjeh identifies major challenges of Idoma nation, advises Buhari – Daily Post Nigeria

The All Progressives Congress, APC, 2023 Senatorial Candidate for Benue South, Comrade Daniel Onjeh, has identified underdevelopment as the major challenge of the Benue zone C.
Onjeh, who spoke on Saturday during the inauguration of the Advisory Council, Directorates and other hierarchies of his campaign organization held in Otukpo Benue State, opined that the challenges facing the people of the Senatorial District was neither ethnicity nor religion, but the common, deeply ingrained problem of underdevelopment.
Onjeh stated that although the Buhari Administration had achieved greater results compared to its predecessor in the area of security, the Agatu people still yearn for improvement in the security situation of their land.
He advocated for the establishment of a Military Base in Agatu, which according to him, would be of twin benefit to the Federal Government as it would protect the Oweto Bridge, a crucial link between the north and the south and protect the lives and properties of the Agatu people, thereby enabling them to return home to their primary occupations of fishing and farming.
Comrade Onjeh also deprecated the state of insecurity in Ogbadibo and Okpokwu Local Governments, with a call on the Benue South electorate to support the emergence of a President in 2023 whose policies would favour the legal mining of coal, with adequate compensation to the people of the host communities.
Describing the roads connecting the Igede people with the rest of Nigeria as death-traps to motorists/commuters and safe havens for kidnappers, Onjeh noted that the Igedes deserve solution to their acute road infrastructural deficits, to ease vehicular movement and boost economic activities in Obi and Oju Local Governments.
He added that the beautiful topography of Igede Land could serves as tourist attraction to generate revenue for both the Government and citizens.
Com. Onjeh also advocated for the legal commercial exploitation of the abundant clay deposits in Otukpo and its environs, adding that Otukpo is long overdue for the localization of ceramics, tiles and related industries to boost the local economy and create job opportunities for the people.
According to the APC candidate, the seemingly inexhaustible coal deposits at Owukpa was being stolen and fritted away due to inefficient and illegal mining practices.
Onjeh opined that if judiciously mined, the Owukpa coal deposits could sufficiently power electricity production across the country, aside stimulating the economy of the entire Benue South.
Also of concern to Onjeh was the urgent need to put safe and legal practices in place for mining of the copious limestone deposits in Ado Local Government.
He asserted that Ado could become the next epicenter for the commercial production of cement in Nigeria if the necessary steps are taken now to utilize the large bodies of limestone deposits which God had naturally bequeathed Ado with.
In his concluding remarks, Onjeh appealed to Nigerians “to promote the unity of the country in spite of our religious, ethnic or political differences,” adding that no nation divided against itself can defeat insurgency, banditry or even oil theft.
He called on all Nigerians to stay united in order to fight and defeat all the societal ills confronting the nation.
