Adole Oche James Gabriel

Hon. Adole O.J. Gabriel is the APC-elected Chairman of Ohimini Local Government Area, Benue State, inaugurated in October 2024. His term has been marred by security incidents such as kidnappings, to which he has publicly responded, calling for urgent government intervention. However, his election was challenged at the tribunal, which in April 2025 nullified his election, raising questions about the legitimacy and stability of his tenure. Despite this, he has remained the publicly recognized leader in many reports concerning Ohimini.
