Oyije Ochaekiti Ogbenjuwa (INEC: OGBENJUWA OYIJE, age 39) is the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) deputy governorship candidate in Benue State, running mate to Michael Kaase Aondoakaa, for the election of 6 February 2027 (INEC final list, 10 October 2026). Aondoakaa named him at the party congress in Makurdi on 24 May 2026; the press styles him Dr and describes him as a security expert based in Israel, and a politician of that name was among the PDP aspirants who stepped down for Aondoakaa's consensus candidacy. He declared qualifications of a first school leaving certificate, a 1999 school certificate and a bachelor's degree to INEC. Nothing further about his career, studies or earlier office was found in reliable sources.
