PDP summons Suswam, Tsegba, Tsumba over alleged anti-party activities
The Working Committee of the Benue State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has summoned the former governor of the state, Senator Gabriel Suswam, former speaker of the state House of Assembly, Terseer Tsumba, Terngu Tsegba and others.
They are alleged to have engaged in gross misconduct and anti party activities within the state.
According to a statement issued by Chief Bemgba Iortyom, the party’s Publicity Secretary, the summoned party members are to appear before the State Working Committee on Thursday.
The statement explained that the development became necessary following the invasion of the party’s State Secretariat in Makurdi on Tuesday by some persons led by suspended State Chairman, John Ngbede.
It was gathered on Wednesday that the crisis in the state chapter of the party has splintered the PDP into two factions.
While one of the factions is controlled by the immediate past Governor Samuel Ortom, the other is controlled by his predecessor, Suswam.
The statement also said credible intelligence revealed that those who invaded the secretariat were acting under the sponsorship and support of the Suswam-led group.
According to the statement, the PDP also made weighty allegations against Senator Gabriel Suswam, accusing him of acts inimical to the good health and interests of the party.
