A former governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Benue State, Dr. Terwase Matthias Byuan, has defected to the Labour Party, LP.
Byuan, who until recently served as Executive Director, Finance at the Federal Housing Authority, FHA, under the administration of President Bola Tinubu, formally resigned from the APC and joined the Labour Party in Benue State.
The development was announced on Friday by the member representing Ado/Okpokwu/Ogbadibo Federal Constituency, Hon. Philip Agbese, popularly known as the “Chief Labourer” of Benue State.
Agbese described Byuan’s defection as a major boost for the Labour Party, noting that his experience and commitment to public service would strengthen the party’s structure and grassroots mobilization in the state.
“It is with great pleasure and excitement that I officially welcome Dr. Terwase Matthias Byuan into the Labour Party family,” Agbese said.
He added that the Benue State Chairman of the Labour Party, Hon. Williams Okefie, alongside other party leaders, would formally present Byuan’s membership registration card during a brief ceremony.
Agbese expressed confidence that the former APC chieftain’s entry into the party would contribute significantly to the advancement of the Labour Party’s vision in Benue State.
