PDP Challenges Gabriel Suswam's Resignation Letter After Defection

The People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Benue State challenges Gabriel Suswam's resignation letter following his defection. The party's Public Secretary, Tim Nyor, dismisses Suswam's resignation, stating he had left the party long ago.

Nyor cites the PDP constitution, noting that failure to pay membership dues for 12 consecutive months automatically ceases membership. Suswam's claim of internal crisis prompting his resignation is disputed by the PDP, arguing that his departure was due to larger reasons.

The former governor's resignation has sparked a controversy within the party.
