Ex governor of Benue State, Gabriel Suswam, has come out to say that he has no plan to exit Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The senator representing Benue North-East District disclosed this during the 57th birthday celebration of the State Chairman of the PDP, Sir John Ngbede, at the Methodist Church, North Bank, Makurdi.
According to him, the rumor was a sign that some desperate people are trying so hard to cause issues between him and Governor Samuel Ortom for reasons best known to them.
His words, “I do not intend to leave the PDP. The rumour was the handiwork of desperate persons. I have decided to join hands with Governor Ortom to take Benue to greater heights and there is no looking back.
“I will always support his programmes and policies and only advise him to avoid some pitfalls which I learnt from my experience as governor of the state.”
