Eight Years Of Governor Gabriel Suswam's Administration In Benue State: What
Is His Legacy?
By Okpe Odaudu
Governor Suswam’s ambition to go to the Senate is not to serve. It is just to
shield him from prosecution for corruption and abuse of office that he will face
at the end of his tenure as Governor. Corruption has become synonymous with
Governor Gabriel Suswam.
Rt. Hon. Gabriel Torwua Suswam CON, Ph.D. was elected governor of Benue
State in 2007. Prior to his election as governor, he had served two terms as a
Member of the House of Representatives representing Katsina-Ala/Ukum/Logo
federal constituency.
His role in the National Assembly, especially as the House Committee Chairman
on Appropriation, cannot be forgotten in a hurry. He was grossly involved in the
Ministry of Education budget bribe scandal that rocked the National Assembly.
President Olusegun Obasanjo made a pronouncement concerning the incident
that made Professor Fabian Osuji, the then Minister of Education, lose his job
and was subsequently tried by the anti-graft agencies. His colleagues in the
House gave Rt. Hon. Suswam a soft landing as he was only removed as the
Appropriation Chairman to another committee.
President Olusegun Obasanjo’s reservation about Gabriel Suswam continued
even though they were in the PDP together. The President then while presenting
PDP flags to governorship ccandidates of the PDP during the North-Central rally
held in Lafia in 2007, public declared Suswam a “big thief”. The way he
emerged as the Candidate of the PDP in the governorship primaries was also
questionable. Suswam lost in the first ballot and instead of going into a run off,
the then Governor, now Senator George Akume, asked some aspirants to donate
their votes to Suswam and that was how he became the candidate of the PDP.
After the general elections in April 2007, Governor Suswam emerged winner in
an election that was alleged to be marred with irregularities. The candidate of
the ANPP in the election, Prof. Daniel Saror, challenged the results before an
election petition Tribunal. The Tiv elders and stakeholders persuaded Prof.
Saror to withdraw the petition against Suswam. He did.
During his inauguration on May 29, 2007, Governor Gabriel Suswam had this to
tell the people of Benue State among other things in his inaugural speech “In
accepting your mandate here today, I pledge before you all, before my creator,
the only Living God I serve, that I desire to give my people no cause
whatsoever to regret. I desire and pray the Almighty God to make me surpass
the achievements of my forbearers who have brought us this far….Our
administration is committed to creating a transparent, honest and egalitarian
society based on the rule of law. We shall therefore wage a war against
corruption just as we shall insist on high standards of probity and
accountability from public officers. This administration shall promote greater
transparency in the handling of government business and shall insist on due
process in all government transactions…For, according to Thomas Jefferson;
one of the foremost of American presidents, 'when a man assumes a public
trust, he must consider himself a public property'. I agree absolutely with this
thesis.”
Today, 7 years and counting into the life of the administration of Gabriel
Suswam, the people of Benue have had cause to regret why they voted him
over the ambitious young man from Anyiin, Logo Local Government Area into
office as Governor of the State. He has distanced himself from his inaugural
speech and engulfed himself in deep corruption, dishonesty, lack of transparency
and above all, disservice to his people. His quest for material acquisition knows
no bounds. In fact, on several occasions, he has openly bragged that he would
like to be the richest Tiv man.
The people of Benue State, on realizing how corrupt Governor Suswam is, voted
him out during the general elections in 2011. However, he was able to use his
PDP connections to ensure that all election petitions challenging his re-election
were not heard and determined on their merits. The judiciary actively supported
this venture. In the end, Benue's scarce resources were heavily depleted.
Corruption has become synonymous with Governor Gabriel Suswam. The
governor, during his first term, was able to call back contractors that had
abandoned real projects in the state to return and complete them with monies
the previously collected from the state Government. He became the self-
acclaimed “Mr. Infrastructure”. He spent money on the Greater Makurdi Water
Works, cajoled President Jonathan to commission the project without any
reticulation. There is acute water shortage in Makurdi town and environs. A
similar fraud took place in Otobi and Katsina-Ala water works. So many lives
have been lost due to cholera outbreaks in the so-called greater water works
towns.
Local governments in the state have remained financially incapacitated. Funds
meant for the local government are continuously used to finance the Governor’s
luxurious and flamboyant life style at the detriment of workers. The governor
jets out of the country every week to attend parties and night clubs in Dubai,
Las Vegas, and the US with friends. We have not forgotten the cost the state
incurs in accommodation at a penthouse in Dunnes, Abuja where one of his
mistresses stayed for over four years before a house was bought for her. A
permanent Presidential Suite at Abuja Transcorp Hotel, all financed from the till
of the State government. The Governor is always gallivanting the world in
search of investors especially Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore (where
beautiful women abound). No single investor has come to Benue since 2007.
What an irony!
The claim by the Governor that his inability to pay workers in the state is due
to dwindling allocations from Abuja is a mere fallacy. Are other states not
affected by same scenario, why do they pay their workers? Teachers just
suspended their 10 month old strike in the interest of the pupils. It was not
government met their demands. Workers downedtools on July 31, 2014 to
protest the illegal and criminal deductions of their salaries on the directive of
the governor in order raise money and pay the teachers. What a way of robbing
Peter to pay Paul? Leave and transport allowances have not been paid to civil
servants since the inception of the Suswam administration in 2007.
His wife, architect Yemisi Suswam, has also not helped matters. All the few
major contracts such as the Makurdi International Market, completion of work
at Benue State University Teaching Hospital, and the Law Faculty building of
Benue State University, Makurdi were carried out by her own company,
Metropole Nigeria Limited. With impunity, she built the Wuye International
Market Abuja on a Build, Operate, and Transfer (BOT) basis. Mr. President
recently commissioned this market. She has acquired so many properties all
over the country and abroad. So much state funds have been diverted into her
SEV-AV Foundation that has not positively impacted the women of the state.
The people of Benue have every reason to regret ever voting Governor Gabriel
Suswam into office as Governor of Benue State. Insecurity is the order of the
day in Benue State, occasioned by Governor Suswam’s patronage of thugs and
cultists. He armed these thugs and cultists who facilitated his rigging of the
2011 election. These arms are now being used against the innocent people of
Benue State. Recently, a PDP chieftain and close ally of the Governor from
Kwande Local Government was arrested by the police in respect of gun running.
Armed robbers were arrested by the CID State Headquarters and they confessed
that this PDP chieftain provided the guns they were using. The police acted
swiftly and arrested the chieftain. The governor immediately intervened and the
police released him. Whether he will ever be charged is another thing.
The role of the Governor in the Tiv/Fulani crisis in the state has left so much to
be desired. The governor and his government completely neglected the
internally displaced persons.
Another act of the governor that left the Benue people in bewilderment is the
misappropriation of the N500m that was released by the federal government to
the victims of the flood. While other states immediately disbursed the funds, the
reverse was the case with Benue. The governor at first directed all the victims
to vacate the camps, claiming that they will get to them later. When it became
obvious that the money was no more, a Benue lawyer went to court to find out
what had happened to the money. He was castigated by the governor who
claimed that LGs that were affected were to submit bills of quantity for the
construction of primary schools. Last we checked, the money was
misappropriated. What a shameless act!
Finally, Governor Suswam has left the administration of the state, which is
what he was elected to do and focused attention on the Benue North-East
Senatorial seat. He has spent so much money in paying for endorsements from
the people. Any way, the people are wiser now and will be able to elect a true
representative. Governor Suswam’s ambition to go to the Senate is not to
serve. It is just to shield him from prosecution for corruption and abuse of
office that he will face at the end of his tenure as Governor. May God forbid this
move by Suswam.
I wish to use this opportunity to call on Mr. President, the PDP, and friends of
Benue to condemn these acts of Governor Suswam. Let no one deceive Mr.
President and the PDP by claiming that Governor Suswam can deliver Benue to
PDP in 2015. In fact, Suswam has made the PDP very unpopular in Benue
State.
What will Governor Gabriel Suswam be remembered for after serving Benue
State for eight years? Benue has paid the price for electing a mediocre man
governor. Let us be wise in 2015.
OKPE ODAUDU, Public Commentator

Between Suswan and Orji i wonder who takes the back seat. I blame followers for not being proactive enough to challenge public servants. This is the same docility and non action that Nigerian youths are known for, always complaining on social media but too afraid to organise themselves to hit the street to demand their constitutional rights. These leaders understand this and they are taken advantage of it.

The worst is the present governor of Ondo state, Olusegun Mimiko...his people have started cursing him...

For the past 6 months, the man refused to pay salaries to workers despite the huge federal allocation and oilderivatives

None of these persons compare to the Rt Hon. Dr. Gabriel Torwua Suswam. Ask most Benue residents. Apart from the issues highlighted in that writeup, there are other sundry issues for which that man deserves a term in prison.

If all these are true, then the real disaster is that he has been allowed to remain as governor up till now.

Left to politicians, ALL public funds would be looted. The ONLY thing that would prevent a public office holder from stealing is a VIGILANT populace who INSIST on holding their leaders accountable for the use of EVERY penny of public funds.

The people of Benue have no one to blame but themselves.

President Olusegun Obasanjo’s reservation about Gabriel Suswam continued
even though they were in the PDP together. The President then while presenting
PDP flags to governorship ccandidates of the PDP during the North-Central rally
held in Lafia in 2007, public declared Suswam a “big thief”. The way he

questionable. Suswam lost in the first ballot and instead of going into a run off,
the then Governor, now Senator George Akume, asked some aspirants to donate

election petition Tribunal. The Tiv elders and stakeholders persuaded Prof.
Saror to withdraw the petition against Suswam. He did.

This is madness. And some Benue Residents will be hailing this dude... Some are even calling for Mark to run for President. Benue, Kogi, Abia, Ebonyi and Bayelsa (Except Alams) States residents/citizens seem to be comfortable with Mediocres as elected representatives.

O P is right, Gabriel Suswam and his witch, Yemisi are the worst thing to ever happen to Benue. Funny thing is, I don't blame Suswam, I blame Akume for imposing the roguish fungus on the people of Benue. Just go to Plateau state and see what that state Govt has been able to achieve inspite of crisis and a smaller budget.

JingoOAU: The worst is the present governor of Ondo state, Olusegun Mimiko...his people have started cursing him...

Liar from the pit of Hell. Mimiko pays civil last friday of every month. Delay can only occur for a week due to Bank problem. Don't say what u don't know. If u will contest this, ask a civil servant in Ondo State. Your lies won't stop him fro delivering Ondo state to GEJ. Can u even compare him to other south west govs (except fashola). Hard working governors don't show it on pages of newspaper

Here is an arbitrary case in point, early in his government, he laundered money abroad and was caught. In order to escape the law, he claimed he had travelled on behalf of the government to import pigs. He repressed what we initially thought was mere rumour by sending thugs after people who as much as mentioned the story in public to both assassinate and maim. Everybody became quite and calm and then the pigs began to arrive. Though shrouded in mystery and secrecy, this money is in billions and nobody dares to talk about it in Benue.
And for those of you blaming the Benue man, what power does the ordinary man on the street have when his life is valued as less than a dog that can killed at any time with nobody raising an eyebrow for daring to query the powers that be. The judiciary and parliament which should in sane climes provide the needed checks and balance are in his pockets and are his most ardent praise singers.
What we in Benue have known these last 7 years is a very corrupt government of impunity, recklessness, poverty and enslavement.
Nigeria, come over to Benue and help us. Media houses, please investigate and report the rot in Benue. God, look down on us in mercy and deliver Benue from a suswam and his likes.

What is the state of the health care system in those state governed by those dude u mentioned.
