Benue 2023: Senator Suswam reveals how Idoma can become governor
Suswam who currently represents Benue North West senatorial district at the National Assembly, was addressing a group of Idoma editors in Abuja on Thursday.
“Hence there is a consensus, there won’t be problem. When I was contesting for Governor, in spite of the fact that our Leader Senator Mark said he wanted Idoma, I would go and sit down with him and said Oga, this thing you must give me oo, we would joke about it and he said, if I get nomination he would support me but for nomination, he would support an Idoma person.
On his recent objection to the nomination of non-career Ambassador from Idoma land, the lawmaker said his position was misconstrued, adding that Idoma people were his closest friends and he could not have done anything to undermine the relationship. “This time, I’m representing zone A, if I don’t talk, they won’t elect me again, so, I have to talk and do politics of representation. When I was a Governor, I took Idoma people as part of me. I was kind to them in areas of appointments, infrastructures and others. I cannot come to the National Assembly and hold a different view of them.
