Former Benue State Governor, Gabriel Suswam, has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing persistent internal crises within the opposition party.
Suswam announced his decision in a letter dated February 4, addressed to the Chairman of Mbagber Council Ward in Logo Local Government Area of Benue State.
In the letter, the former governor blamed what he described as the party’s endless internal wrangling for his exit, saying the situation had become untenable.
Although he did not disclose his next political destination, Suswam has been linked to a coalition of opposition leaders that has adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as its platform ahead of the next general election.
“I consider it honorable and necessary to step aside, while wishing the party well should it one day find the courage and consensus to resolve its long-standing issues,” he wrote.
The resignation marks another major blow to the PDP as defections continue to thin its ranks.
