The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Benue State has suspended the former Governor of the State, Senator Gabriel Suswam, alongside Terngu Tsegba, Richard Gbande, Terseer Tsumba and Professor Nicholas Ada, from the party over insubordination.
Naija News learnt that the party also suspended the chairmen of the party for Apa, Gboko, Gwer-East, Katsina-Ala, Konshisha, Logo, Otukpo and Ukum local government areas.
The state Publicity Secretary of the party, Bemgba Iortyom, in a statement on Wednesday, disclosed that the affected persons were summoned to appear before the State Working Committee (SWC) on Thursday by 10 am on charges of gross misconduct and anti-party activities.
Iortyom said the summon aimed to interact with the invited persons at a preliminary level and possibly avoid the need to take disciplinary action. 
The statement added, “But rather than reciprocate the conciliatory gesture extended to them, they chose the path of intransigence and insubordination by refusing to appear before the SWC as required, with some of them taking to the public space to pour scorn on the party’s constituted authority.
“Their unfortunate conduct contravenes Section 58 of the Constitution of the Peoples Democratic Party (as Amended in 2017) and accordingly, they have been suspended from the party for a period of one (1) month, and are hereby directed to appear before the Disciplinary Committee of the party at a date, venue and time to be communicated to them by the committee.”
