This is according to a memo dated Dec 16, 2025, signed by the state Deputy Governor, Mr Sam Ode and issued to the media on Wednesday in Makurdi.
The memo said the decision was due to the recent increase in political activities within the state.
“In light of the recent increase in political activities within the state, and having observed with keen interest the diverse aspirations for leadership roles aimed at promoting good governance and advancing the laudable achievements of Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Iormen Alia’s administration.
“Political appointees interested in contesting for elective positions are kindly requested to indicate their interest and submit a formal resignation letter accordingly, the memo read in part.
The memo also urged the concerned persons to forward all letters or expressions of interest for the office of their choice to the office of the Deputy Governor of Benue not later than Thursday, Dec 18, 2025, for further consideration and processing.”
