PERFORMANCE OVER PROMISES: WHY KWANDE/USHONGO WILL REJECT EMPTY RHETORIC AGAIN IN 2027

In the 2023 election, the people of Kwande/Ushongo delivered a decisive verdict. They overwhelmingly and unprecedentedly rejected Prof. Kohol Iornem and placed their confidence in Hon. Terseer Ugbor. That outcome was neither accidental nor emotional; it was a deliberate choice grounded in trust and capacity.

It is therefore curious that, having been so resoundingly rejected, Prof. Kohol now returns with a content-driven declaration rich in theory and conspicuously short in practical engagement with present realities.

Prof. Kohol continues to struggle with abstract definitions of representation, appearing unable to come to terms with the scale of his 2023 defeat. His persistent fixation on the incumbent reveals not only unpreparedness for leadership but also an inability to move beyond rejection.

Within just two years, Hon. Ugbor’s stewardship has produced visible, verifiable, and widespread development across the constituency, results that require no intellectual interpretation.

Under Hon. Ugbor, Kwande/Ushongo Federal Constituency has secured approvals to establish the National Open University Study Center in Kwande, the Forestry Research Center in Ushongo, the Technology Incubation Center in Kwande and the Infectious Disease Diagnosis and Treatment Center in Ushongo. This is unprecedented in our constituency, not rhetoric and promises.

Across Kwande/Ushongo, development is no longer confined to a privileged few locations. Twenty-one out of twenty-six council wards already host completed or ongoing projects, with a clear and credible pathway towards full coverage. This is not speculative; it is an unfolding record, unprecedented in the constituency’s history.

In Ushongo, the impact is both practical and immediate. In Mbayegh, solar motorised boreholes have been constructed in Ushongo Town and Mbahilav, complemented by the rehabilitation of the borehole at the Ushongo Town Health Centre and the installation of solar streetlights.

In Utange, the Ugondo community benefits from a solar-powered borehole. Igboor market in Mbagwaza, as well as Tsumba, Orhyundu, and Mbelle markets in Mbagba, are now illuminated with solar street lights, enhancing security and extending commercial activity.

In Ikov, Ikpa-Jov community has witnessed the construction of six classrooms block. In Lessel Township, a 200-capacity Traditional Council Hall stands completed, alongside borehore and solar street lights. Yiase market in Mbaawe now enjoys a constructed solar motorised borehole, while the Adikpo Mbaagwa market in Atirkyese is fitted with solar lighting.

In Kwande, the scope of development is equally pronounced. In Adikpo Township, the National Incubation Center stands as a testament to forward-looking governance, supported by solar lighting installations at Tse Bur and St. Patrick’s Haanya.

In Mbagba/Mbakyan, an ultra-modern primary school with staff quarters is underway, accompanied by solar street lights projects in Dio, Mbalumun, and Kookoko. In Usar, the construction of an Immigration Outpost strengthens border security, while the Gube market now has solar street light.

In Tondov I, Iyon community benefits from a solar motorised borehole, while Mbangough and Ada in Tondov II, as well as Ajio in Mbaketsa, are equipped with solar streetlights.

In Turan, Mbaikyor hosts a progressing Primary Health Care Center currently under construction, alongside water and lighting projects in Chor and Nyihemba. In Yaav, borehole rehabilitation at the General Hospital, together with solar street lights installations in Tamen market and Tse-Akough. Borehole repairs have also extended to Mbadura and Kumakwagh.

In Ikyurav-Ya, Mbachile now boasts completed classroom blocks, boreholes at Adagi and Mbachile, and a magistrate court under construction. Step down of electricity at Achia in Liev I, while solar streetlights illuminate Atamakyon, Usambe, Hua, and Ikyogen in Liev II.

These are not campaign projections; they are functioning realities across named communities.

On the question of security, while Prof. Kohol offers distant and prolonged commentary, Hon. Ugbor has taken concrete and measurable steps within the limits of his office.

The facilitation of a Police Border Patrol presence in Jato-Aka and provision of a temporary site, logistical support to local security outfits, and the supervision for establishment of Immigration operational bases, including the approved Immigration forward base in Abande, demonstrate practical engagement. His sustained advocacy has ensured that the security concerns of Kwande/Ushongo remain firmly on the national agenda.

Legislatively, Hon. Ugbor has proven far from ornamental. His leadership within the Students Loan framework, his active role in environmental policy, and his sponsorship of key bills, including for establishing federal institutions in Adikpo, advancing environmental protection, and proposing constitutional amendments, attest to his diligence and foresight.

His empowerment initiatives further consolidate this record. Farmers have received irrigation machines, agricultural inputs, and financial support. Students have benefited from scholarships and laptop computers.

The foregoing represents only a fraction of the many reasons the people of Kwande/Ushongo remain resolute in consolidating the leadership of Hon. Ugbor. Beyond these visible projects, his consistent engagement and outreach within the constituency continue to reinforce public confidence.

In contrast, Prof. Kohol’s submission rests largely on narratives. The people of Kwande/Ushongo are no longer in need of imported descriptions of functional systems; they are already witnessing, within their own communities, what committed representation delivers.

Elections are not exercises in storytelling; they are judgments on performance. One man offers a content- creative catalogue of ideas; the other presents a body of executed programmes.

If 2023 was decisive, then 2027 will be even more emphatic, clear, and distantly margined, not on the strength of rhetoric, but on the weight of evidence.

KWANDE: CONSOLIDATING THE LEADERSHIP OF HON. UGBOR IS NOT AN OPTION BUT A NECESSITY

I had the privilege of standing behind a respected and prolific leader in Benue, quietly listening as he spoke during a visit to Kwande. I will withhold his name, but he made a remark that struck me.

He said "The greatest impediment to Kwande’s political growth is its continuous reluctance to embrace and build its own leadership."

No society thrives without deliberate leadership. Strong communities are not accidental, they are intentional in raising voices that can speak, negotiate, and defend their collective interest. Even in the old times, the Israelites sought a king from God, someone who could stand in representation of their cause like other nations.

It is evident that Kwande often loses out because, at crucial moments of decision, it lacks firm and respected voices at the table. Leadership does not emerge by chance; it is cultivated.

Today, Kwande appears to be searching endlessly for credible political voices, while neighbouring blocs such as Jemgbah, Jechira, Sankera, and Minda have consciously nurtured theirs. Why, then, should our case be different?

If we continue to repeat the same pattern: division, indifference, and internal opposition, we will inevitably produce the same disappointing outcomes. It is time for Kwande to act with intention, to set aside trivialities, and to support those who have demonstrated capacity and vision.

In this regard, consolidating the leadership of Hon. Ugbor becomes not merely an option, but a necessity. In a short time, he has built meaningful connections, locally, nationally, and beyond. Such strides should not be ignored but strengthened.

The recurring culture of pulling one another down must be questioned. Has it advanced Kwande politically? Or has it kept us stagnant while others move forward with purpose?

We have seen Hon. Terseer Ugbor’s competence and growing influence. Now is the time to solidify those gains. By doing so, we ensure that tomorrow, Kwande will not search for representation but will command it.

“Ugbor Shi Aza” should therefore not be a mere slogan, but a rallying point, a call to unite behind a leader whose resolve is anchored in the progress and political advancement of Kwande.

The moment is timely and clear, the call is certain, the responsibility is ours, failure is not an option.

Ugbor Doo, Ugbor Shi Aza!

THE REASON KWANDE/USHONGO SHOULD RE-ELECT REP. UGBOR

In politics, re-election is often regarded as the most demanding contest for any public office holder. Opponents usually attempt to magnify perceived weaknesses and make them the foundation of their campaigns. But, beyond political arguments and campaign rhetoric, one decisive factor often determines the outcome of a re-election bid, which is performance.

In the case of Hon. Terseer Ugbor, the reason for his re-election is both evident and compelling. His stewardship has been marked by purposeful advocacy, meaningful contributions to national policy, visible infrastructural development, and deliberate empowerment initiatives that have brought the dividends of democracy closer to the grassroots.

Although Hon. Ugbor is yet to complete three years in the National Assembly, he has already distinguished himself through his legislative engagement and policy contributions aimed at improving the welfare of Constituency and entire Nigerians.

He has remained a consistent and knowledgeable voice on matters relating to environmental degradation and green energy, issues that pose serious challenges to communities and to the broader future of humanity.

Notably, Hon. Ugbor as the Adhoc-Chairman played an important role in the repeal and re-enactment of the Students Loan Bill, an intervention aimed to ensure that Nigerian students can access educational loans under more accessible and flexible repayment arrangements.

Beyond legislative contributions, Hon. Ugbor has demonstrated unwavering advocacy for the rights and welfare of his constituents. In particular, he has remained vocal on the persistent insecurity affecting parts of Kwande/Ushongo. Through motions, engagements, and consistent representation, he has continued to press for stronger governmental action to address the situation and restore stability to affected communities.

In the area of infrastructural development, his record within less than three years in office has been tremendous.

More than twenty projects have already been completed across the constituency. These include the construction of the Traditional Council Hall in Lessel, classroom blocks in Ikov and Menev, and the completion of the first phase of the Incubation Centre in Adikpo.
In addition, over ten new boreholes have been installed while several others have been rehabilitated to improve access to clean water for many communities.

Electricity has also been stepped down in Achia, and solar street lights have been installed in several markets across the constituency to improve safety and commercial activity.

Hon. Ugbor further supervised the establishment of an Immigration Outpost in Adikpo. Another outpost has also been approved for Abande and is currently underway.

Several additional projects are presently ongoing across the constituency. These include the construction of an ultra-modern Primary School at Kuhe in Nanev, a Primary Health Care Centre in Turan, and a Magistrate Court in Adagi.

Work is also progressing in the second phase of the Incubation Centre in Adikpo, which is expected to be completed in due course.

Furthermore, a number of projects have already been captured in the federal budget. These include the proposed establishment of an Open University in Kwande, the supply of electricity transformers to several communities, and the rehabilitation of bridges and culverts across the constituency.

Beyond infrastructure, Hon. Ugbor has also demonstrated a clear commitment to empowering his constituents, particularly in the agricultural sector.

Through various empowerment initiatives, farmers have received irrigation machines, knapsack sprayers, fertilizers, herbicides, and financial assistance aimed at boosting agricultural productivity and improving livelihoods.

Students have equally benefited from his interventions through scholarships, educational support, and the distribution of laptop computers to aid their academic pursuits.

Importantly, Hon. Ugbor has also maintained strong and consistent engagement with his constituents through outreach programmes and constituency briefings, ensuring that he remains connected to the people he represents.

Considering the accomplishments recorded within just over two years in office, it is evident that Hon. Ugbor seeks re-election in order to consolidate the progress already made and to further strengthen the representation of Kwande/Ushongo at the national level.

The case for his return to the Green Chamber therefore rests on a simple and enduring principle: when leadership demonstrates competence, commitment, and visible results, continuity becomes both logical and beneficial.

For Kwande/Ushongo, the reason to re-elect Hon. Terseer Ugbor is to sustain progress, deepen development, and preserve effective representation for the continued advancement of the constituency.

Is Not An Option.

SUP BAN: REP. UGBOR SEEKS BALANCE BETWEEN ENVIROMENTAL SAFETY AND ECONOMIC SURVIVAL

The Member representing Kwande/Ushongo Federal Constituency, Terseer Ugbor, has called for a balanced approach to the proposed ban on single-use plastics in Nigeria.

He said the country must protect the environment while also safeguarding economic activities and jobs.

Hon. Ugbor made this known during his opening remarks at a public hearing organised by the House Ad-hoc Committee on Preparedness for the Single-Use Plastic Ban at the National Assembly Complex.

Hon. Ugbor, who chairs the committee, said its mandate is to develop a practical legislative framework that will address plastic pollution without harming the economy.

“We are not here to debate whether the transition away from harmful plastics should happen,” Ugbor said. “The key issue is how the transition can take place in an orderly, efficient and fair manner that protects both our environment and our economy.”

He also explained that the committee plans to promote a Nigerian policy approach that moves the country away from the traditional “take-make-dispose” model. Instead, the goal is to encourage a circular economy that focuses on reuse, recycling and sustainable innovation.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, was represented at the event by the Deputy Chief Whip, Isiaka Ibrahim.

In his remarks, the Speaker acknowledged the growing problem of plastic waste in Nigeria. However, he said environmental policies must also consider the impact on people’s livelihoods.

He noted that plastics are an important part of Nigeria’s economy. Many businesses depend on plastics for manufacturing, packaging, distribution and recycling. He therefore warned that an immediate ban without proper planning could create economic challenges.

At the public hearing, representatives from the Federal Ministry of Environment called for practical alternatives to single-use plastics. They also suggested a phased ban to allow industries and consumers time to adjust.

Several agencies and organisations also shared their views. These included the National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA), the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) and some United Nations development organisations.

Most of them did not support an immediate ban. Instead, they recommended stronger recycling systems and policies that support a recycling economy. They also stressed the need to consider the role the plastic sector plays in Nigeria’s economy and employment.

Civil society organisations also presented their positions. The Executive Director of the Food and Beverage Recycling Alliance, Mr. Onaghise, said the industry understands the environmental concerns about plastic waste. However, he warned that a sudden ban could disrupt businesses and affect investments in the sector.

On the other hand, representatives of Sustainable Research and Action for Environmental Development supported a complete ban. They argued that beyond the visible environmental pollution, plastics also contain chemicals that may cause serious health problems, including cancer and reproductive harm.

Speaking on behalf of Community Action Against Plastic Waste, Ms. Errit Effanga also supported an immediate ban of Sup’s and urged the Federal Government to align Nigeria’s policies with global efforts to reduce plastic pollution.

REP. UGBOR CONGRATULATES REAFFIRMED APC LEADERSHIP IN KWANDE AND USHONGO

The Member representing Kwande/Ushongo Federal Constituency, Hon. Terseer Ugbor, extends warm congratulations to the reaffirmed leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwande and Ushongo following the Local Government Congress.

He commends the Executive Committees under the stewardship of Hon. Nyor Terdoo Kenti in Kwande and Hon. Usha Tyavkase in Ushongo. Their renewal in office, he notes, is a just reward for devoted service rendered during their past tenure and a clear reflection of the confidence reposed in them by party faithful.

Hon. Ugbor expresses firm confidence that their renewed four-year mandate shall strengthen unity, preserve stability, and advance progressive engagement within the party across both Local Government Areas.

He further applauds the decorum displayed by APC faithful throughout the exercise. He reaffirms his resolve to deploy the mandate entrusted to him in advancing the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, ensuring that the dividends of democracy continue to reach the grassroots through impactful representation and enduring constituency projects.

The Honourable Member also heartily conveys profound appreciation to Sen. Dr. George Akume, CON, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, for his unifying and steadfast leadership of the APC in Benue State and across the North-Central of Nigeria.

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF BENUE: REP. UGBOR REAFFIRMS A GREATER FUTURE

The Member representing Kwande/Ushongo Federal Constituency, Hon. Terseer Ugbor, has congratulated his constituents and the entire people of Benue State on the celebration of the state’s 50th anniversary, describing the milestone as a testament to the people's resilience and unity.

Hon. Ugbor reflected on the achievements recorded since the creation of the state in 1976, noting that the Golden Jubilee is a collective celebration of shared aspirations and the resolve of the people to advance together while prioritising peaceful coexistence and sustainable development.

He commended past military and civilian leaders whose contributions, he said, laid the foundational pillars upon which the state’s present progress is built. He also applauded successive administrations, past and present, for their efforts in strengthening governance and development across the state.

The Honourable Member highlighted the contributions of Kwande/Ushongo Federal Constituency to the growth of Benue State, paying special tribute to Governor Aper Aku, the first civilian governor of the state, whose visionary leadership, he noted, established a solid blueprint for Benue’s developmental trajectory.

He expressed concern over the persistent insecurity affecting his constituency and other parts of the state, which he said has slowed the pace of development. Nevertheless, he reaffirmed his resolve and that of his people to confront and overcome these challenges in order to bequeath a safe and prosperous state to future generations.

Hon. Ugbor prayed for continued peace, unity, and progress in Benue State and assured citizens that the state is destined for greatness in the years ahead.

The party leaders and APC stakeholders, with organic and genuine support unanimously passed a clear vote of confidence and resolved their commitment to backing Hon. Terseer Ugbor in the consolidation of his effective representation.

They unequivocally affirmed that Hon. Terseer Ugbor has excelled in developmental projects, human empowerment, and effective advocacy for the constituency, as well as contributions to national policies and development.

To secure the collective support of party stakeholders from the two Local Government Areas (Ushongo and Kwande) without discord is a clear indication that the Representative has steadily and diligently attained excellence.

Hon. Terseer Ugbor has been consistent and deliberate in stakeholder engagement and outreach to constituents. In politics, driven as it often is by selfish interests and sentiments, not everyone will agree; however, those who affirm his leadership clearly outweigh those who dissent, as demonstrated by the overwhelming collective endorsement of stakeholders.

Hon. Terseer Ugbor remains firmly on course. The year 2026 promises to be a boom for those privileged to understand the scope of the planned projects. Their impact will be even greater upon implementation, with unexecuted projects from 2025, due poor funding from the federal government, added to those earmarked in the budget for 2026.

The vote of confidence from notable quarters, stakeholders, elders, and leaders, far outweighs the murmurs driven by trivialities, selfish motives, and political bias.

REP. UGBOR WITHDRAWS DEFAMATION SUIT AGAINST BENUE GOVERNOR TO FOCUS ON LEGISLATIVE DUTIES

The Member representing Kwande/Ushongo Federal Constituency, Hon. Terseer Ugbor, has explained that his decision to withdraw the defamation suit instituted against the Governor of Benue State and two of his media aides was taken purely to end the distractions and to enable him focus on his legislative duties.

The suit, marked MHC/422/24, also listed the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Tersoo Kula, and the Principal Special Assistant to the Governor on Electronic Media, Mr. Isaac Uzaan, as co-defendants.

The case filed on 31st October 2024, experienced a series of delays following the prolonged judicial strike embarked upon by the Benue State Judiciary, which lasted for nearly five months.

He notes that since the commencement of the case, neither the Governor nor the other defendants had filed any defense in response to the suit. Ordinarily, the failure to file a defense would have led to judgment being entered in his favour, as such absence could have been interpreted as an admission of guilt by the defendants.

However, Hon. Ugbor says he opted to discontinue the case because of the distraction it posed, and on the appeal by his family and friends who have consistently requested he discontinue the matter.

“My decision to withdraw Suit No. MHC/244/24 is entirely to avoid distraction and to concentrate fully on delivering the dividends of democracy to the good people of Kwande/Ushongo Federal Constituency,” he stated.

The Honorable Member emphasises that the withdrawal was in no way politically motivated but taken in the best interest of his family and the constituents he proudly represents.

He reaffirms his unflinching political loyalty and confidence in the leadership of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, describing him as a guiding figure whose counsel and support have been invaluable since his assumption of office.

Hon. Ugbor further urges the people of Benue State, particularly his constituents to be rest assured that he remains committed to their well-being and has in fact delivered several volumes of relief and empowerment materials to the displaced people in kwande since the unfortunate incident orchestrated by the Governor.

REP. UGBOR COMMENDS IGP FOR JATO-AKA DIVISION, PRESSES FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF BORDER PATROL UNIT

The Member representing Kwande/Ushongo Federal Constituency, Hon. Terseer Ugbor, has commended the Inspector-General of Police, Dr. Kayode Egbetokun, and the Benue State Commissioner of Police, CP Emenari Ifeanyi, PhD, for upgrading the Jato-Aka Police Station to a full Division and approving new Divisions and Area Commands in the state.

Hon. Ugbor, while expressing gratitude, called for the immediate implementation of the previously approved Border Patrol Unit, for which he had donated a facility to enable its take-off, stressing its importance for effective policing of the volatile border communities within his constituency.

He explained that the Jato-Aka Division and Border Patrol Unit cover vast stretches along state and international borders, which remain vulnerable to banditry, illegal mining, kidnapping, armed herders’ attacks, land grabbing, and the displacement of indigenous communities.

The Honourable Member emphasized that the implementation and deployment of additional personnel to the Border Patrol Unit and the new Division would reinforce strategic responses, bridge existing security gaps, and bolster the fight against criminal activities in the region.

Reiterating his commitment, Hon. Ugbor pledged to continue working in close collaboration with the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies, rendering support where necessary to safeguard lives and property across his constituency.

SPEAKER NAMES REP. UGBOR CHAIRMAN COMMITTEE ON SINGLE-USE PLASTIC BAN

Speaker House of Representatives Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas has appointed Hon. Terseer Ugbor as Chairman Ad-hoc Committee on Single-Use Plastic Ban in Nigeria.

The committee is mandated to access the preparedness, coordination, and roles of relevant federal agencies in implementing the planned ban on single-use plastics in Nigeria, with a view to ensuring effective enforcement, public awareness, and environmental sustainability.

The committee will also engage with the private sector stakeholders to access their preparedness to eliminate single-use plastics from their operations.

The bold initiative to ban single-use plastics is a significant stride towards combating plastic pollution in Nigeria. According to reports, Nigeria ranks as the ninth-largest contributor to plastic pollution globally, generating approximately 2.5 million tonnes of plastic waste annually. Alarmingly, over 70% of this waste is discarded into landfills, waterways, or the ocean, posing hazards to both the environment and public health.

The Deputy Chairman Committee on Environment will assume the notable role of heading the committee and ensuring the effective implementation of a single-use plastic ban in Nigeria.

Hon. Ugbor has been an advocate for better environmental laws and policies. He sponsored the Endangered Species Conservation and Protection Bill, which has passed in the House of Representatives. He also sponsored the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Ammendement Bill. He is also responsible for the End-of-Life Vehicle Regulations amongst others.

Previously, Hon. Ugbor served as Chairman of the Ad-hoc Committee on Student Loans and Access to Higher Education, where he organised the first legislative summit on student loans in the National Assembly and proposed extensive ammendments to the students loans bill which was eventually passed into law.

Hon. Terseer Ugbor is a thorough professional and a consultant in the area of environmental sustainability, resource recovery, and climate change.
