Former Governor of Benue State and ex-Senator representing the Benue North-East Senatorial District, Gabriel Suswam, has declared his intention to return to the upper legislative chamber via the 2027 general elections.
The two-term former governor made the declaration during a
public event over the weekend.
Suswam, who recently decamped from the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), said the state,
since he “started politics in 1998, is a place where the people believe in one
party.”
According to him, Benue State was “completely a PDP state
for its first 16 years. And then subsequently after that, they moved to the
APC.”
“As a Benue son, I won’t be an exception to what my people
want and what my people believe. They now believe in the principles and
philosophy of the APC.”
Suswam added that “as a politician, if you are still strong
enough to contest an election, you always want to contest elections.
“The only election that I can contest now is the Senate. Of
course, I can’t go back to run for governor even if I want to; the constitution
forbids me from running for governor again. So, of course, I’ll be running for
Senate.”
