Sen Gemade Picks PDP Nomination Form,Vows To Defeat Gov Suswam.

Former national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and senator representing Benue North East Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Chief Barnabas Gemade, on Friday dared the Governor of Benue State, Gabriel Suswam, over his bid to seek election into the Senate next year.
Gemade, who was at the PDP national secretariat to pick the nomination form for the primary election for the PDP ticket for the senatorial election, said he would return to the Senate despite the wishes of the sitting governor.
He made the declaration in a chat with newsmen shortly after collecting his expression of interest and nomination forms for the position at the PDP secretariat.

The senator and the governor are from the same senatorial zone and one would have to make way for the other.
The party’s primary election for the National Assembly comes up on November 22.
“I am the current senator representing Benue North East District and I am going back in 2015. That is why I have come here,” Gemade said.

He observed that the race for the Benue North East Senatorial District would be interesting, with the governor’s bid to unseat him.
“So many people have come to me and said, ‘can you stand the governor?’ Of course, yes, I have stood many before. I will stand this one too,” he said.
