There are strong indications that the former
National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, Senator Banabas Gemade has decided
to join the opposition All Progressives Congress,
APC, to realize his re-election bid in the Senate.
Already Senator Gemade who represents Benue
North East Senatorial District has tendered a
letter of withdrawal from the PDP’s senatorial
primaries expected to hold tomorrow as a result
of the alleged hijack of the process by the State
Governor, Gabriel Suswan.
A close ally of the erstwhile National Chairman of the PDP who
spoke to Saturday Vanguard on the condition of
anonymity hinted that Senator Gemade may likely
pick the APC form on Monday to contest the
senatorial election in the area.
The source further stated that Gemade who is the
Chairman, Senate Committee on National
Planning will join forces with the former governor
of the state and Senate Minority Leader, Senator
George Akume to ensure that APC captures the
state in 2015 general elections.
