Former Benue State Governor, Gabriel Suswam has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
This was contained in a letter dated February 4 and addressed to the Chairman of the Mbagber Council Ward in Logo Local Government Area of the state.
The former governor cited the unending internal crisis rocking the opposition party as the reason for his resignation.
Although Suswam failed to state the next political party he is aligning with, he has been identified with the coalition of the opposition leaders, who adopted the African Democratic Congress, ADC as platform to contest the next 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”, the letter added.
