Former governor of Benue State, Senator Gabriel Suswam, has dismissed claims of division within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), asserting that the party has a unified leadership and no factions.
Speculations had emerged suggesting that the opposition party was split into two separate camps, with PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar and his followers forming one camp, and Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, and his supporters constituting the other.
Suswam emphasized that Atiku remains the sole leader of the party.
He said,
“I don’t think there are camps in PDP. We have just one PDP and all we are saying is that let us have a strong leadership.
“Wike is the Minister of FCT and he is working with the president, I don’t think he has a camp. Atiku remains the leader of our party.
“By being the presidential candidate of PDP, Atiku is automatically the leader of the party who every member should look up to”.
