Former Benue State Governor, Gabriel Suswam, has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing prolonged internal crises within the opposition party.
Suswam’s resignation was contained in a letter dated February 4, 2026, and addressed to the Chairman of the Mbagber Council Ward in Logo Local Government Area of Benue State.
In the letter, the former governor expressed dissatisfaction with what he described as the party’s inability to resolve its lingering internal disputes, noting that the situation had made it difficult for committed members to continue within the party structure.
“I consider it honourable 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,” Suswam stated.
Although he did not disclose his next political destination, Suswam has recently been associated with a coalition of opposition leaders who have reportedly adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a platform ahead of the next general election.
Suswam, a former senator and two-term governor of Benue State, has been a prominent figure within the PDP for decades. His exit marks another significant development amid the party’s ongoing leadership and internal challenges.
