Don’t be a bad loser, Suswam counsels Akume after violence in Makurdi vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Suswam, a former governor of Benue State, spoke yesterday, after some youths suspected to be members of the All Progressives Congress destroyed Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, campaign billboards and looted property in Makurdi in the name of celebrating President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election.
He appealed to Akume, also a former governor of Benue, to note the violence and speak in favour of peace. Suswan equally appealed to losers in the election not to take the law into their hands but rather seek redress in court just as he advised winners of the elections to be magnanimous in victory. The senator-elect pointed out that in 2015 he contested for the Benue North East senatorial seat as incumbent governor and lost but kept his peace.
