Gabriel Suswam, former Governor of Benue State, has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The resignation was communicated in a letter dated February 4, addressed to the Chairman of the Mbagber Council Ward in Logo Local Government Area.
Suswam cited the protracted internal crisis within the opposition party as the reason for his departure. “I consider it honorable and necessary to step aside while wishing the party well should it one day find the courage and consensus to resolve its long-standing issues,” he wrote.
Although he did not specify his next political affiliation, Suswam has been associated with a coalition of opposition leaders reportedly using the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a platform to contest the next elections.
