The PDP candidate highlighted the struggles of farmers, youths, women, civil servants, and pensioners, promising a government that would restore hope and confidence among the people.
He outlined key priorities of his proposed administration to include tackling insecurity, protecting lives and property, revitalising agriculture and ensuring rural development.
Aondoakaa added that he would prioritise youth and women empowerment, improving infrastructure, healthcare and education, promoting industrial growth, ensuring transparency and accountability, and fostering unity across political and ethnic divides.
The former attorney general stated that his campaign would focus on issues, solutions, unity, and service rather than bitterness or division.
He called on the PDP members to unite and take the party’s message to communities across the state.
Earlier, the leader of the PDP in Benue, Chief Samuel Ortom, said the party’s candidate would be transparent and prudent in the management of public resources.
