My Alleged Defection To APC Is An Unholy Rumour - Suswam by Bobloco(op): 6:35pm On Oct 10, 2025

#SuswamNews

Moments ago, I received telephone calls from well-meaning Benuelites and leaders, alerting me to trending news on Benue's social media space purporting that the former governor of Benue State, His Excellency Senator Gabriel Torwua Suswam, PhD. CON is set to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC) today and would be received by the Governor of Benue State, His Excellency Reverend Father Hyacinth Alia, this evening at the Banquet Hall of the Benue State Government House.

I debunk this unholy rumour with all vehemence as it doesn't represent the current interests of Senator Gabriel Suswam or that of his supporters across the state and should be treated as a mere rumour and that's all.

What I know is that two days ago, the Governor of Benue State HE. Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia respectfully extended an invitation to Sen. Suswam, among other stakeholders, expressing his desire to attend a State Banquet slated for 10th October 2025.

It should be noted that as a former Governor of the State, Suswam is a stakeholder in the Benue project, thus his reason for accepting the invitation.

There was no indication in the invitation letter that it was a political event or a decamping ceremony whatsoever.

The former governor advises his supporters and well-wishers to disregard this rumour as it is baseless, aimless, and a lie from the deepest pit of hell.

Suswam appreciates everyone who called in for further enquiries and concerns and wishes everyone a happy weekend ahead.

Media Aide to HE Sen Gabriel Suswam

Seun needs to moderate the amount of fake news APC people send on this platform.

An Agbadorian posted a fake Twitter post and immediately it was sent to frontpage.

Don't kill SEUNs platform for him, with your Propaganda. Na wa for una sef!!!

No, they did not join but rather moved away from PDP. Are you sure you are alive in 2014/2015?

Even a primary 2 kid knows that governors and politicians decamped from PDP to the newly formed APC back then.

Lol. But why is APC so obsessed with defections like it would translate into votes for Tinubu? He keeps promising the governors heaven and earth and sabotaging the governorship aspirations of APC members in all opposition states for his own benefit. The governors are decamping, but the people are not. This was not the case in 2015. The people were even more enthusiastic then. Even if the 36 state governors defect to the APC, Tinubu still has no pathway to victory as at today. This will become clearer heading into 2026.

What did ADC promised expired politicians like Peter OBI,Atiku and Aregbesola and co for them to have jumped ship to another sinking ship?
