Senator Gabriel Suswam, former Governor of Benue State, has firmly denied rumors of defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing the speculation as baseless and mischievous. In a strong statement issued through his media aide, Suswam emphasized his commitment to his current political alignment, rejecting any notion of secretly abandoning his party. The rumored defection gained traction after Suswam attended a state banquet hosted by Governor Hyacinth Alia, but his aide clarified that this was a courtesy invitation to all key stakeholders, not a political event or decamping ceremony.
Suswam underscored his long-standing political stature, saying that quietly defecting would be a betrayal of his personality and supporters. He highlighted his commitment to transparency and loyalty, asserting that he remains dedicated to his principles and political career within his existing party framework. The former governor urged his supporters and the public to disregard the defection rumors as completely false and malicious.
This development sheds light on the intense political maneuvering ahead of the 2027 elections, with rumors often spreading rapidly, but Suswam’s firm response serves to quell speculation and affirm his political position.
