Suswam picked up his APC membership card at his ward during a brief ceremony, marking a major political shift after years of prominence within the PDP. His defection comes amid ongoing realignments in Nigeria’s political landscape ahead of future electoral contests.
Speaking after receiving his membership card, Suswam said his decision to join the ruling party was based on the need to contribute to governance and political stability. He noted that the APC provided a platform through which he believes he can better serve his constituents and support national development.
APC leaders in Benue State welcomed the former governor into the party, describing his defection as a significant boost to the party’s strength in the state. They praised Suswam’s political experience and expressed confidence that his presence would help consolidate the party’s influence ahead of upcoming elections.
Suswam, who governed Benue State from 2007 to 2015, had been a key figure in the PDP at both state and national levels before his exit. His move adds to the growing list of high-profile politicians who have recently crossed over to the APC.
The development is expected to further reshape political dynamics in Benue State and intensify competition among major parties as preparations for future elections gather momentum.
