Former Benue State Governor, Senator Gabriel Suswam, has called for the sack of the Acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Umar Damagum, due to poor performance.
He made this statement during an expanded caucus meeting of the PDP in Makurdi.
Suswam noted that Damagum has turned the party into a business venture and insisted that he is not qualified to remain in the party’s leadership.
He said, “Damagum must go whether they like it or not.”
Suswam lamented that the national leadership under Damagum is interested in destroying the party, and he vowed not to allow that to happen.
He accused the national party leadership of colluding with other negative elements to undermine the party.
Suswam explained that there was a conspiracy with some party leaders to hold kangaroo local government and state congresses in Benue State.
He wondered how there could be no wards and local government congresses, yet delegates were drawn for the conduct of the state congress, describing it as a sham and stating that it would not stand.
Sen. Suswam announced that they are not short of ideas, emphasizing that if their current strategies fail, they will seek a better and stronger alternative.
The Benue State Chairman of the PDP, Mr Christian Adaba Abah, appreciated the PDP faithful for their firm support and urged them to maintain their faith in the party, assuring them that they would not regret it.
Other speakers at the occasion, including Udu Nyitse for Benue North East, Cletus Upaa for Benue North West, John Ngbede for Benue South, and Hyacinth Inyakuma for former House of Assembly members, assured their groups of loyalty to the PDP and expressed confidence that the party would get stronger and reclaim its mandate in 2027
