In what appears to be a major political realignment in Benue State, former Governor Senator Gabriel Suswam, ex-NAFDAC Director-General Dr. Paul Orhii, serving House of Representatives member for Agatu/Apa Federal Constituency Hon. Ojema Ojotu, and former Benue North-East Senator, Professor David Iornem, have officially joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Banners and signposts announcing their defection and a pre-decamping dinner flooded major streets and roads in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, on Friday.This marks the first time Senator Suswam, fondly called the “Black Cat,” has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) since he began his political career in 1999.
