2027 BENUE ASSEMBLY ELECTION: MR. SIMPLE SOLUTION ENJOYS THE PEOPLE'S SUPPORT

It is an open secret that in the forthcoming Benue State House of Assembly election slated to hold in 2027, Honourable John Anthony Ikwulono (JAI), also known as Mr. Simple Solution enjoys the support of the people of Agatu as he seeks to represent them at the Benue Assembly.

The support that he enjoys today is due to the many positive contributions he has made to Agatu Local government Area over the years, especially between the year 2020 to 2022 when he served as Vice Chairman of the council. Mr. Simple Solution, as the name implies, is one who has proffered and/or suggested solutions to a whole lot of issues that once affected Agatu in particular and Benue in general with the issue of insecurity being one of such.

Here is a man who is genuinely concerned about the wellbeing of his people and has acted in various capacities towards bringing succour to those who are at the lowest rung of the ladder; the women, youths and the elderly at the grassroots. These are the people that Mr. Simple Solution mostly is more concerned about. No wonder he enjoys the support and love of the People.

So join the JAI movement today and be part of the Agatu of your dreams.

Enough is Enough: Herdsmen on Okada with AK-47s – Leaders and Security Must Act Now.

Fellow Idoma sons and daughters, the time for silence is over. Our brother, Meddy Olotu recently posted a compelling video calling for an immediate stop to herdsmen riding okada across Idoma land. Just days later, a herdsman was caught in Makurdi with an AK-47 rifle folded into the seat of his Bajaj motorcycle.

These are not ordinary riders. They are armed threats who operate at night in major Idoma towns like Otukpo. They attack and kill our people, then roam freely under the cover of darkness with weapons concealed in plain sight.

How many more lives must be lost? We call on our leaders, Benue State Government Fr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia , local government chairmen, and traditional rulers, as well as security agencies including the police, army, and Civil Defence, to take decisive action:

✅Ban herdsmen from okada operations in Idoma land immediately.
✅Increase night patrols and vehicle searches in our towns.
✅Prosecute offenders swiftly, with no leniency for those who threaten our safety.

Idoma land belongs to us. Share this message, tag our leaders, and demand justice. United, we can protect our homeland.

They Are Not Numbers. They Are People.

When these killings happen, they are often reduced to numbers faceless and distant. But the people dying daily across Apa-Agatu are not numbers.

They are human beings with names, families, histories, education, and livelihoods.

They do not just die.
They leave behind families suddenly plunged into poverty, trauma, and uncertainty.

When they are buried in mass shallow graves, it is not because we care less it is because people are overwhelmed.

In Ankpali, Edikwu, the nine people killed two nights ago are not faceless. These are their names:
• Elaigwu Pelu, 31 — a young father of four, trying to build a family despite being an orphan
• Oigene Ogah, 62 — a patriarch and provider to a large household of fifteen children
• Adah Aboje, 78 — an elder whose life touched generations, father to thirty-five children
• Peter Omafu, 59 — a father of thirteen, a pillar in his home
• John Peter Musa, 33 — a young man raising two children
• Ogagwu John, 31 — a father of three in his prime
• Eluma Ogbeni, 30 — a young provider for his family of four children
• John Elegbo, 39 — a father of five, sustaining his household
• Gideon Monday, 29 — the only son of his parents, their hope and continuity

In a single night, the loss of these nine men has directly affected well over 80 family members wives, children, and dependents and countless others across their communities. Entire households have been destabilized. Communities have been shaken.

These are not statistics.
These are fathers, sons, and providers lives that held families together.

Behind every name is a family that may never recover.

I call on the Governor of Benue State, Fr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia, to urgently take action to address the worsening insecurity across Apa-Agatu. Our people deserve to live, work, and sleep in peace.

*PRESS STATEMENT*
*On the Position of Agatu Constituency Regarding Aspirants from Egba and Ologba*
*Date: April 10, 2026*

The people of Agatu Constituency wish to make their position clear ahead of the forthcoming elections: there is no aspirant from Egba or Ologba that Agatu Constituency will support with its ticket.

This decision is borne out of the firm conviction that granting such a ticket would be detrimental to the unity, peace, and development of Agatu. We cannot afford leadership that would destroy Agatu entirely.

Furthermore, should any individual from Egba choose to contest for any political office, we call on the leaders of Egba to first direct their youth and elders to obey the rule of law and accept existing court judgements in full. Respect for the rule of law is non-negotiable. If Egba cannot obey the rule of law, they cannot be entrusted with the responsibility of governing Agatu Local Government.

Agatu stands for order, justice, and the preservation of our collective heritage. We remain resolute on this matter.

2027 BNSHOA ELECTION: HONOURABLE JOHN IKWULONO, THE ONE DIVINELY SENT TO GIVE AGATU CONSTITUENCY A NEW TRAJECTORY OF POSITIVE CHANGE

As the 2027 Benue State House of Assembly elections draw closer, it is clear that Honourable John Anthony Ikwulono, also known as Mr. Simple Solution because of his ability to calmly suggest and provide solutions to pressing issues, is divinely sent to give the Agatu State Constituency a new trajectory of positive change.

Honourable Ikwulono is divinely sent to be the Moses who will lead the Agatu Constituency to its promised land through the 2027 elections. For this reason, it is advisable that we all give him all the support he needs in the primaries, and that the entire Agatu community vote for him in the general elections. Unlike others, he is tested and trusted. He has served before, and his past records of service speak for him as a man with a genuine heart for the people.

Let us not gamble with the 2027 Benue State House of Assembly elections. Let us support and vote for the man we know has served us in the past, a man we can confidently trust. That man is the former Vice Chairman of Agatu Local Government Area, Honourable John Anthony Ikwulono. He is the one whom the cap truly fits. He deserves our support to give Agatu the future it deserves.

Join the JAI Movement and be part of the Agatu of your dreams.

2027 BSHOA ELECTION: NONE AS GOOD TO GO LIKE MR. SIMPLE SOLUTION FOR AGATU CONSTITUENCY

Among all who seek to represent Agatu at the Benue State House of Assembly in 2027, none is as perfect for the job as Honourable John Anthony Ikwulono (JAI), also known as Mr. Simple Solution. The fact remains that no one comes close to being as fit for the job as he is.

This is because he has spent years working, studying and relating with the people at the grassroots. As a result, he is fully equipped with knowledge of their day to day challenges. Mr. Simple Solution understands the needs of the people and, when elected as the next member representing Agatu at the State Assembly, he knows exactly how to address those needs.

There is no doubt that Honourable Ikwulono, who currently serves as a media aide to the Senate Minority Leader Senator Abba Moro, is not an emergency politician. The former Vice Chairman of Agatu Local Government Area is very knowledgeable about lawmaking and about attracting democratic dividends to the youths, women and the aged who live at the grassroots. He is a man whose heart genuinely longs to uplift his people from lack and to bring them to their rightful place where they can enjoy socioeconomic advancement.

It is on record that when he served as Vice Chairman of the council, their administration performed exceptionally well. Therefore, it is no surprise that the love, followership and support he enjoys today across all ten wards of Agatu as he seeks a seat in the Benue Assembly is completely organic. He has proven himself before and he did not disappoint. Let us give him a chance to represent us at the Benue State House of Assembly. There is no need to look elsewhere and no need to gamble. Honourable John Anthony Ikwulono (JAI) is good to go.

So join the JAI Movement for the Agatu of your dreams.
