Part of President Bola Tinubu’s campaign office in Makurdi, Benue State, was on Thursday demolished by officials of the Benue State Urban Development Board, sparking outrage from members of the Ahmed Bola Tinubu Support Group.
Sources reports that the structure, which also serves as the state secretariat of the support group, had its perimeter fence pulled down during the exercise.
The demolished office was inaugurated only last week in a ceremony attended by supporters from across Benue and neighbouring North-Central states.
The event was convened by Dr Mathias Byuan, Executive Director of Housing, Finance and Accounts at the Federal Housing Authority and National Coordinator of the group.
Reacting to the demolition, the Director-General of the support group, Dr. Tarnongo Simon, described the action as unjustifiable.
“We came into the office this morning to work and these people just came and started demolishing the building. They didn’t tell us anything.
“This action is condemnable because it is uncalled for. However, the demolition will not deter our commitment to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and our vision for a stronger North Central,” he stated.
Simon maintained that the secretariat had a valid Certificate of Occupancy and an approved building plan issued by the same urban development board.
