A Gboko-based businessman and politician, Hon. Sesugh Kaaba, has officially returned to the All Progressives Congress (APC), pledging loyalty to Benue State Governor, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, and President Bola Tinubu.

Kaaba announced his defection on March 22, 2026, during a well-attended event in Yandev North Council Ward, Gboko Local Government Area of Benue State.

Speaking at the gathering, Kaaba said his decision was driven by what he described as Governor Alia’s “remarkable achievements” in infrastructure, education, and agriculture. He expressed readiness to support the administration and contribute to the state’s development.
“I am in politics to serve my people, not for personal gain,” he said, urging residents of Yandev to back his political aspirations.

Receiving the defector, APC State Chairman, Dr. Benjamin Omale, commended Kaaba for what he called a bold move. He assured him of equal opportunities within the party and encouraged him to work for APC’s success ahead of the 2027 elections.
Other party leaders, including State Women Leader, Mrs. Helen Pinen, and Organising Secretary, James Ornguga, described Kaaba as a committed grassroots mobiliser.

The highlight of the event was his formal induction into the APC, witnessed by party stakeholders and local government officials, who described his return as a boost for the party in Gboko-East constituency.
