Former Benue State Governor and ex-Senator Gabriel Suswam has formally declared he will contest the Benue North-East Senatorial District seat in the 2027 general elections on the All Progressives Congress (APC) platform.
“Benue State, since I started politics in 1998, is a place where the people believe in one party,” he said. “Benue State for its first 16 years was completely a PDP state. And then subsequently after that, they moved to the APC.”
“As a Benue son, I won’t be an exception to what my people want and what my people believe. They now believe in the principles and philosophy of the APC,” he added.
On his 2027 ambition, the two-term former governor left no room for doubt: “I’m a politician. And as a politician, if you are still strong enough to contest an election, you always want to contest elections.
The only election that I can contest now is the Senate. Of course, I can’t go back to run for governor even if I want to run for that, the constitution forbids me from running for governor again. So of course, I’ll be running for Senate.”
