2027: Ex-Benue governor Suswam joins Senate race on APC platform

Former Benue State Governor Gabriel Suswam has declared his intention to contest for the Benue North-East Senatorial District seat in the 2027 general elections on the APC platform. Suswam, who defected from the PDP to the APC in February, stated that his decision is part of a political realignment rather than personal ambition. He emphasized that political alignment in Benue State has historically followed dominant party structures, noting that the people now support the principles of the APC.
