Bende Local Government Area is one of the oldest Local Government Areas, East of the Niger.
It has remained intact since 1976.
Bende needs a leader that will inspire and harness it's population to move the LGA out of economic deprivation.
Such leader must be cosmopolitan and not parochial in Outlook, be able to differentiate between being principled and being rigid. As well as understand that the purpose of leadership is to protect and empower the citizens.
These are the qualities we should look for in those who are now campaigning for election irrespective of party affiliation, if we are to build the Bende of our dreams. She needs leaders who will unite and not divide, for it takes the combined forces of Bende Sons and daughters across party divide working in solidarity to build our economy.
where we have leaders who manipulate our diversity to enhance their electoral fortunes, it becomes impossible for Bende Sons and daughters to collaborate in solidarity, impossible to join hands together and work for a peaceful and prosperous Bende.
We must learn that Bende integration is a prerequisite for economic prosperity.
That is why this L.G.A is in dire need of leaders who will recognize and promote the potential of every indigene of Bende irrespective of party affiliation.
Together Bende Local Government Area will be great💪
