Is this man serious at all? What has your agreement with
Akume got to do with the present governor's move
to probe you on mismanaging state funds? Some
Politicians sef na wa!
Immediate past governor of Benue State, Gabriel
Suswam has affirmed that he is not afraid of facing the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFFC,
over corruption allegations leveled against him.
The ex-governor attributed the Peoples Democratic
Party’s loss in the last general election to the party’s
negligence.
He stated this while playing host to 17 PDP leaders
from Benue in Abuja.
Suswam noted that since he did not probe his
predecessor, he was not expecting that his successor
would probe him.
“On the probe going on in Benue State, it is not that one
is afraid, but once a precedent is set, it is a double-
edge sword. You don’t know whose turn it is tomorrow,
you don’t know tomorrow.
“When I became the governor of Benue State, I met
some issues on ground but I resolved it amicably
without going after anyone. It baffles me that all this is
happening. When there are issues, let us talk about it
amicably instead of grandstanding. This remains my
approach to life but to go and do grandstanding. I
encourage us in Benue to toe the path of peace.
“What we want is a better Benue. I moved Benue State
forward, I hope the next administration will build on the
developmental strides we achieved. We want peace in
our state, we don’t want violence.
“After a long period of time, if you are used to winning
all the time, you begin to take things for granted. We
lost election because we took a lot of things for
granted.
“There were many issues we did not attend to on time.
We have experienced something which has resulted in
‘had we known.’ That is why we are now at the
receiving end.
“But God creates this kind of situation so that we can
learn. When God called Moses, it came with fire. What
happened to us is God talking to us.
“The PDP is still intact in Benue, the elders are intact
and that is why they have come to meet with me, the
opposition leader. And it comes with a lot of pain,” he
narrated.
