The former governor of Benue State, Dr Gabriel Suswam, has finally sealed a defection deal with Senator George Akume to dump his party, the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) for governor Samuel Ortom and senator Barnabas Gemade ahead of 2019 general elections.

LEADERSHIP observed that majority of Suswam’s loyalists who are vying for elective positions in 2019 under the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) have started removing the PDP’s logo on their posters, especially online, signaling their take-off from Egypt to the promise land.

Our correspondent authoritatively gathered that Makurdi,the Benue state capital was locked down on Sunday night by Akume/Suswam versus Ortom/Gemade camps to perfect final decamping arrangements.

A source who attended Suswam’s all night meeting which ended by 5am Monday explained that despite the begging from Ortom/Gemade’s camp for Suswam to remain in PDP, the duo prefer to join (APC) another available vehicle with his teeming supporters,saying those who want to join PDP have bypassed the opposition stakeholders in the state who have suffered to build the party in the last three years.

Another PDP source buttressed further why they cannot work with Ortom in the party ,adding that the non payment of salaries by the present administration will affect the party’s chances of clinching the governorship in 2019 as majority of workers and pensioners will work against them.

One of the close allies of the former governor, said Suswam had already briefed PDP state and local government executives of his pending decamping to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC),adding that they cannot work together with Governor Ortom:” We cannot work for the re-election of Governor Ortom and we have decided to leave the party as the governor is joining the party. We don’t think Benue workers will support PDP with Ortom as a candidate. We weighed all options and decided with our leader,former Governor Gabriel Suswam to join APC and work together with Akume.Governor Ortom/Gemade camp begged Suswam not to defect to APC but he refused “.

The ongoing political realignments in Benue state has left some aspirants stranded as many are contemplating which side to go.

According to sources, former governor Suswam has been given APC automatic ticket for Benue zone A senatorial seat, while Senator Gemade who is seeking for third term was given PDP automatic ticket to vie for Benue zone A senatorial seat.

Benue State governor, Ortom, may decamp from his party,the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) today with his teeming supporters.

Recall that governor Ortom had claimed that the state APC leader, Sen.George Akume, gave him red card ahead of the 2019 guber primaries.

Although, the APC national chairman,Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, intervened but the governor had already made up his mind to dump his party for an automatic governorship ticket in PDP.

PDP had in a statement issued by its National Secretary,Sen.Umaru Ibrahim Tsauri, called for an emergency meeting which it was learnt was to deliberate on defection of APC bigwigs into its fold among other issues.

Political bastards, shehu sani is seriously confused, there is no way shehu sani would have won election without associating with buhari , he has tried several times but failed until he found true romance with pmb, now that he is an outcast in apc and prove himself to be aPDP sympathiser and remained stern opposition, the unravel waves has turned against him, a strong political figure is already warming up to take over from him, uba sani, the fact is that anythingh buhari is accepted in the north, I pity social media warriors, buhari supporters are not on social media, this is a easy ride for pmb, coming 2019.

The only saving grace for Gamade in 2015 is APC and Akume; the same gamade that ran to Apc as a result of the humiliation from suswam. The coming together of Akume and Suswam is a sure banker for Apc in Benue.

Ortom has never by himself won any election whether primaries or governorship which is why he's decamping to PDP to get an automatic ticket.

PDP will not be fair to Benue people if they give ortom ticket because of his ineptitude that has plunged the state economy though anybody can join the party but the ticket should be keenly contested. But suswan if you must leave, then join another party not the APC though
