Terry Waya’s wife, Susan, joins Benue guber race

Wife of billionaire and socialite Terry Waya, Susan, has joined the 2023 governorship race in Benue State on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Susan, who spoke with newsmen shortly after obtaining her nomination and expression of interest forms at the PDP secretariat in Abuja, said she was hopeful of picking the party’s ticket for the Government House.
“A state abundantly gifted with rich, agricultural fields covered by fresh, clean, and unadulterated flowing rivers, one of which it was later named after, Benue, is a safe-haven in the grasslands with vast human resources.
“The state had and still has irreplaceable potential, and has a strong promise for a better future.
“Our state was so endowed that it was projected to feed the entire nation and serve as a gateway for export to other countries. Unfortunately, our motto as the food basket of the nation has become a fantasy over the years.
“The euphoria that accompanied the creation of Benue in 1976 has vanished, leaving behind a frightening reality of underdevelopment, unemployment, poverty, hunger, insecurity, corruption, and a loss of pride,” she said.
Susan said that her focus was to restore the lost glory of the state.

“Our priority is to restore our beloved state back to its glory days and build a more productive and diversified economy by investing heavily in security, agriculture, infrastructure, health, power, ICT, and tax cuts,” she said.
Susan said that she plan to broaden the economic base of the state by unlocking its great potential, especially in the rural areas.
Susan is so far the only woman in the 2023 governorship race in the state.
