Suswam In Kwande,Says Decision Of Presidency To Retain Senators Not Binding On Him.

Benue State Governor Gabriel Suswam, has said that the decision of the Presidency to endorse senators for automatic ticket ahead of 2015, is not binding on some of them as his constituents’ decision to choose a representative of their choice for the Senate is sacrosanct come 2015.

According to National Mirror Suswam made the declaration on Sunday  at Adikpo, headquarters of Kwande council area of Benue State while launching an appeal fund organised in his honour by St. Mary’s Catholic Church.

Addressing the gathering in his honour, Suswam stated emphatically that the decision of the Presidency to endorse senators to re-contest the 2015 general elections is not binding on him, adding that the decision may have been taken but the stakeholders had their preferred candidate, therefore it amount to exercise in futility.

He said: “I wish to reiterate here that the people of the seven local councils that made up Benue North-West senatorial district will not heed to this arrangement and invariably when the chips are down the people will pick their choice for the Senate come 2015.”

He debunked the accusation of allegedly cornering delegates at the last delegates ward congresses in the state against him, describing it as completely unfounded, urging party supporters to dispel the insinuation.
