Senator Gabriel Suswam, who represents Benue Northeast senatorial district in the national assembly, stated that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is under one unified leadership and does not have any other factions.
Recent speculations suggested that the PDP had split into two factions, with one led by the party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, Atiku Abubakar, and the other led by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
However, Suswam clarified in Abuja over the weekend that Atiku is the sole leader of the party.
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,” Daily Post quoted Suswam saying.
