Susan Waya, the mother to reality TV star Kiddwaya, has officially joined the 2023 governorship race in Benue state.
Susan, who is also the wife of Benue billionaire, Terry Waya, obtained her nomination and expression of interest forms at the PDP secretariat in Abuja on Wednesday.
She said she was hopeful of picking the party’s ticket for the Government House.
She said: “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.
Susan said that she plans to broaden the economic base of the state by unlocking it great potential, especially in the rural areas.
“The plan is to assemble all the indigenous engineers and architects through the Ministry of Works to plan and restructure our state to accommodate an international airport, new roads, flyovers, stadium etc.
”Others are hospitals, schools, ICT/innovation centers, and other modern social amenities across the state in order to boost our economy and attract global investments.
Susan is so far the only woman in the 2023 governorship race in the state.
