The Labour Party has taken a bold step in its 2027 electoral preparations, officially unveiling Juliana Obetta as its Deputy Governorship candidate for Benue State ahead of the forthcoming general elections.
The announcement has generated significant excitement within Labour Party circles in Benue State, with members and supporters describing the choice of Obetta as a strong and strategic decision that reflects the party’s commitment to purposeful and inclusive governance.
Obetta’s emergence as the Deputy Governorship candidate is widely seen as a major boost to Labour Party’s growing political structure in Benue State, a key battleground in north-central Nigeria ahead of 2027.
Her unveiling signals Labour Party’s determination to field competent and credible candidates across all levels of government as the party continues to consolidate its national presence following its remarkable performance in the 2023 general elections.
Political observers in Benue State say the choice of Obetta further strengthens the party’s ticket and broadens its appeal across the state’s diverse political constituencies.
As the 2027 campaigns gather steam, Labour Party’s Benue State structure is expected to leverage Obetta’s profile to deepen grassroots mobilisation and voter engagement across the 23 local government areas of the state.
