Former Benue State Governor, Gabriel Suswam has announced his intention to join the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Senator Suswam, a two-term governor, said his decision reflects a readiness to work closely with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, and Governor Hyacinth Alia to ensure Benue fully benefits from federal programs and opportunities.
Describing the defection as a shift from partisan rivalry to people-focused governance, Suswam noted that cooperation with the Federal Government is essential to tackling Benue’s key challenges including insecurity, unemployment, and poor infrastructure.
A statement by his Personal Assistant, Emmanuel Hangeior, Suswam’s decision underscores his belief that “the time has come for Benue leaders to close ranks and put the people first.”
“Senator Suswam’s move reflects a new spirit of collaboration one focused on unity, progress, and the prosperity of Benue State,” Hangeior added.
