Former Benue State Governor, Gabriel Suswam, has dismissed reports claiming he has defected from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing them as false and misleading.
Suswam made the clarification on Sunday during a visit to the residence of Professor Saasongo Nongu in Makurdi, the Benue State capital.
He stated that it would be beneath his political stature and a betrayal of his loyal supporters to leave the ADC without transparency or consultation.
“I am too big to dump the ADC in secret. Leaving the party quietly would be the height of disgrace to my personality and a betrayal to my loyalists,” Suswam declared.
The former lawmaker reaffirmed his commitment to the ADC, saying he remains a proud and dedicated member focused on strengthening the party and expanding its presence across Benue State and beyond.
Suswam also urged party members to support Mzondu, whom he described as a visionary and dependable leader capable of upholding the ideals of the ADC.
In his response, Mzondu expressed gratitude to Suswam for his mentorship and leadership, pledging continued loyalty to him and the party.
“Senator Suswam has been a political father to me. His wisdom and leadership have shown me the right path to follow, and I remain loyal to him and the cause of our great party,” Mzondu said.
