Suswam stated this while speaking  during a meeting with elders of the PDP) on Tuesday, 8 July at the Makurdi residence of Terngu Tsegba, Chairman of the Benue State Steering Committee of the National Coalition Movement.

 The meeting, which brought together five elders from each of Benue’s 23 local government areas, was held in preparation for the official unveiling of the ADC in the state.

The former governor said his move to the ADC was driven by the need for a people-centered alternative capable of challenging the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The meeting, which brought together five elders from each of Benue’s 23 local government areas, was held in preparation for the official unveiling of the ADC in the state.

Suswam told the gathering that the ADC now belongs to the people and offers a fresh opportunity to build a robust opposition movement.

“In the same way PDP was handed to the local people, the ADC is hereby given to the people for full ownership. It is now their platform,” he said.

Suswam also spoke on the importance of inclusive participation and warned against political imposition, urging leaders to allow citizens to freely express themselves within the emerging political structure.

The former governor also called for the rekindling of the energy and unity that once drove the PDP to electoral victories, saying that same momentum should now be infused into the ADC.

“Joining the ADC is a matter of choice and not by coercion,” Suswam said.
