Benue State Governor, Gabriel Suswam, has publicly declared support for the ambition of Senate Minority Leader, George Akume, to preside over the eighth Senate.

He spoke at a meeting of Benue State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stakeholders at the party's secretariat on New Makurdi road, Makurdi.

PDP leaders in the state were led by its chairman, Dr Emmanuel Agbo and his deputies from the three senatorial zones. The governor promised to deploy all his goodwill and networks across the nation to canvass support for Akume.

Akume, he stated, has served meritoriously as Minority Leader and will serve the Senate well if elected to the exalted position.

It is believed that Suswam's support for Akume might swing votes in his favour.

Suswam is a member of the influential Nigerian Governors' Forum (NGF) with five members as senators-elect.

They include Aliyu Wammako (Sokoto); Theodore Orji (Abia); Godswill Akpabio (Akwa Ibom); Jonah Jang (Plateau) and Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano).

Also, Suswam was in the House of Representatives between 1999 and 2007.

Many of his colleagues have since graduated to the Senate.

Some of them include: Binta Garba (Adamawa North); Uche Ekwunife (Anambra Central); John Eboh (Cross River Central); Fatima Raji-Rasaki (Ekiti Central); Philip Aduda (FCT); Nazif Suleiman (Bauchi) and Bala Ibn Na'Allah (Kebbi South).

Others are: Olusola Adeyeye (Osun Central); Gilbert Nnamdi (Enugu); Buhari Abdul Fatai (Oyo North); Olaka Nwogu (Rivers South East); Usman Nafada (Gombe); Ali Ndume (Borno) and Emmanuel Bwacha (Taraba South).

It is believed that if he succeeds in influencing these senators-elect, Akume might clinch the presidency.
