Governor Gabriel Suswam of Benue state has assured that the crisis currently rocking the ruling People's Democratic Party, PDP, will soon be a thing of the past, insisting that the party will emerge stronger and more united.
.
Suswam who spoke, yesterday, while fielding questions from newsmen in Makurdi said: "I am conversant with the issue that led to where we are today as a party. But let me hasten to say that this kind of crisis in the PDP is not happening for the first time.
.
"You would recall that during the time of Chief Solomon Lar, there was a factional PDP which led to the setting up of a parallel office. The party was able to come together and resolve that crisis. Also, during the period of Chief Gemade, there were crises at the highest level.
.
"Of course, you know what happened during Chief Audu Ogbe's era and also during the 2003 primaries of the party. So, these issues within the PDP as a big party have been reoccurring. The present crisis has assumed a different dimension and magnitude. The governors who are agitating for a change in leadership have insisted that the leadership of the party must be changed.
We've been hearing this for a long time now we want it to end already cos it's becoming too much.
Something really has to be done on time!
