Dr Suswam Has Denied All Allegations Of Corruption Against Him.

The former Governor of Benue State, Mr Gabriel Suswam, has denied allegation of corruption against him, saying it is a politically motivated effort to demonise his time in office as the Governor of the state.

Addressing reporters on Sunday in the State, days after reports that he would be arraigned by an anti-graft agency were published, Mr Suswam referred to the stress in the office of a Governor and said that 24 hours in office was enough to send any public officer to jail.

He further asked those calling for his prosecution to know he is also human and not a saint.
Mr Suswam made the statements at a thanksgiving service held in his honour at the Holy Ghost Catholic in Makurdi by the Peoples Democratic Party caucus in the Benue State House of Assembly.
The ceremony was held to mark his eight years in office which ended in May, 2015.

The embattled former Governor also spoke on his preparedness to answer to the corruption charges brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, but regretted the misleading information carried by the media about his purported arraignment.
