We will abolish joint account in Benue - Jime

- By Joshua Odeyemi

The APC gubernator­ial candidate in Benue State, Barr. Emmanuel Jime, has promised to abolish the joint account regime of the current administra­tion in the state.

Jime made the promise while meeting with Benue citizens residing in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.

“We want the local government areas to have their allocation­s to ensure grassroots developmen­t,” he said. He said Benue was currently at a crossroad since the incumbent governor had “completely lost direction”, adding that it will take someone like him to bring it back on track.

While soliciting the support of the Benue indigenes in Abuja in actualizin­g his dream of becoming the state governor, he pledged to prioritize security, economy, healthcare delivery, education, infrastruc­tural developmen­t and social welfare.

On his part, the Director General of his campaign organisati­on, Senator Jack Gyado, assured that “he (Jime) will not spend your money when he gets to the government house because he is very modest.”
