Comrade Benjamin Anthony, National President of the AUPOTRE, has withdrawn from the race for the Jema’a/Sanga Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives, throwing his weight behind the incumbent lawmaker, Hon. Daniel Amos.
Anthony announced his decision on Tuesday evening in Abuja, describing the move as a strategic step aimed at fostering unity and strengthening ongoing political efforts within the constituency ahead of the next electoral cycle.
The withdrawal is seen as a significant development in the area’s political landscape, with observers noting that it could consolidate support for Amos and reshape alignments among key stakeholders.
Anthony, a frontline aspirant prior to his withdrawal, is believed to have opted for consensus-building in order to sustain what supporters describe as progress under the current representation.
Political analysts say the endorsement reflects growing confidence in Amos’s performance and signals a broader push for continuity in the constituency.
The move has also been interpreted as an indication of evolving political dynamics, where collaboration and collective interests are beginning to take precedence over individual ambition.
