As if he was being waited, Snator Barnabas Gemade, one of the founding members of the PDP, has just picked up the senatorial primary ticket of the All Progressives Congresss (APC) few hours after decamping from PDP.
News has it that Senator Gemade won the party primary of the APC for Benue North Easth senatorial zone on Tuesday. He will now face the incumbent governor, Gabriel Suswan in next year’s general elections. The aging politician, we gathered, left the PDP over disagreements with the party’s ticket in Benue.

The zoning train moved to Kwande LGA and Suswam went and borrowed the Senate seat. Gemade went late to borrow the same seat. God will not give Gaav clan the senate of zone A for three tenures against the Tiv philosophy of “ya na angbian” (eat and give your Brother. Gemade should join his mates in the PDP Hall of Fame the likes of Ahmadu Ali, Tonny Anneni, Bode George, Bamanga Tukur and others to renovate the house he built.
