The Benue State governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Prof. Sebastine Hon, SAN, has urged party members and supporters to remain calm following the omission of his name from the final list of candidates released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The call was contained in a statement issued by the Director-General of the Prof. Sebastine Hon Gubernatorial Campaign Organisation, Dr. Ngutor Anyanwu.
Hon expressed confidence that the omission was a minor error that would be corrected.
“I believe this is just a minor error. It will be corrected,” he said.
The omission reportedly threw party members and supporters into confusion after INEC released its final list of governorship candidates for the 2027 election on Saturday.
The list contained 12 governorship candidates representing 12 political parties in Benue State, but Hon’s name was missing.
