The Benue State government demolished the newly inaugurated campaign office of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Makurdi as part of a road dualisation project along the Wurukum–Yaikyor–Apir–Ikpayongo axis in the state capital. The demolition was carried out by the Benue State Urban Development Board (BSUDB) and is said to be part of the Makurdi–Enugu Highway dualisation project supported by the Federal Government, not a political action targeting Tinubu or his supporters.

The campaign office, which was inaugurated on October 31, 2025, served as the National Secretariat of the Ahmed Bola Tinubu Support Group and had a valid Certificate of Occupancy and an approved building plan. Despite this, part of the office, including the perimeter fence, was pulled down on November 6, 2025, sparking political tension and accusations from Tinubu supporters who viewed the act as politically motivated.

However, the Benue State Government, through its Chief Press Secretary, stated that the demolition was lawful and necessary for the road project. The government explained that any properties built without proper approval or within the right of way were subject to demolition, and warned against politicising the exercise. This dispute has highlighted the ongoing political friction within the ruling party in Benue State ahead of future elections.​

In summary, the demolition of the Tinubu campaign office in Benue was officially justified as a requirement for a major road infrastructure project by the state government, despite significant controversy and claims of political interference by Tinubu supporters.
