He claimed that Damagum has turned the party into a “business venture” and is unfit to continue in his current position.
Former Benue State Governor, Senator Gabriel Suswam, has called for the immediate removal of Umar Damagum, the Acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing leadership failures and poor performance.
Suswam voiced his concerns during an expanded caucus meeting of the PDP in Makurdi, stressing that Damagum’s leadership is leading the party astray.
“Damagum must go, whether they like it or not,” Suswam declared, accusing the party’s national leadership of undermining the PDP’s integrity.

Suswam further revealed what he called “conspiracies” within the PDP’s national leadership, which he believes are aimed at destroying the party.
He criticised the recent local government and state congresses in Benue State, referring to them as “kangaroo congresses.”
According to him, the delegates chosen were not legitimate since there were no proper ward or local government congresses to validate the process.
“The process was a sham, and it will not stand,” Suswam declared, promising to explore alternative ways to resolve the crisis and ensure a fair outcome.
