Senator Gabriel Suswam, a former Governor of Benue State and contender for seat of national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has adopted a conciliatory tone ahead of the party’s forthcoming election.
Speaking at the party’s expanded caucus meeting in Makurdi on Monday, Suswam emphasized that he did not view the chairmanship election as a do-or-die affair. Instead, his priority was to build a strong and vibrant party capable of winning future elections.
He said, “If it works (election ) in my favour, I will get it, but if it doesn’t, I will forget about it. We are building a party that is on its knees, we want it to stand on its toes”.

Suswam’s stance marks a departure from the typical cutthroat politics often associated with party leadership contests.
By expressing a willingness to accept the outcome of the election, regardless of the result, he has set a tone of unity and cooperation within the party.
As the PDP prepares for its leadership election, the statement by Suswam offers a glimmer of hope for a more harmonious and democratic process. By prioritizing unity and inclusivity, the party may yet overcome its internal conflicts and emerge as a formidable force in Nigerian politics.
