Former Governor of Benue State, Senator Gabriel Suswam, has said that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is in Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Suswam stated this during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday.
He accused the chairman of the PDP Governors Forum, Governor Bala Mohammed and the chairman of the party Umar Damagum, of engineering the party’s failure.
He said Mohammed and Damagun’s decision to renege on their agreement with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, (FCT), Nyesom Wike, threw the party into crisis.
Suzwan added that he was not worried that Wike said he would fight to the finish.
He said, “The acting chairman of the party has failed us, let’s call a spade a spade. I would have done far better because I wouldn’t engage in an agreement with the Minister of the FCT and reneged on it.
“The party is in an intensive care unit, and people have survived from the ICU. I believe [PDP can survive] if the right thing is done, which I doubt. Most people no longer have confidence in the leadership of the party.”
However, Suswam attacked the Tinubu-led administration, saying the government was insensitive to Nigerians’ pain.
He said that there is apathy in Nigeria because of the hardship the citizens go through.
