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).
Speaking on Sunday during a visit to the residence of Prof. Saasongo Nongu in Makurdi, the state capital, Suswam described the rumours as false and disrespectful.
He stated that his political stature and loyalty to his supporters would not allow him to leave the ADC without open 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 said.
The former governor reaffirmed his commitment to strengthening the ADC and advancing its political presence across Benue State and Nigeria at large.
He also urged party members to unite behind Mzondu, whom he described as a visionary leader capable of upholding the values and aspirations of the ADC.
In his response, Mzondu expressed gratitude to Suswam for his mentorship and political guidance, pledging continued loyalty to both the former governor 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 stated.
