Ahead of the February general elections, Governor Gabriel Suswam of Benue State, has declared that “the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, is on a failed mission”.
Suswam said: “As far as I know, especially with our records of achievements which is there for everyone to see, the PDP would record a resounding victory at the coming elections”.
Speaking at the weekend while welcoming defecting members of the APC from across the state to the Peoples Democratic Party, at the party’s zonal campaign rally in Makurdi, the governor noted that “there is much desperation among APC members and it’s an early sign of despair and failure which is watering the grounds for the eventual victory of the PDP in Benue State and the country at large.
“Today, we are witnessing consistent defections from the APC to the PDP in Benue State because of the imposition of a former PDP Minister, Dr. Samuel Ortom, on the APC as its governorship candidate”.
