The immediate past Governor of Benue State, Mr. Gabriel Suswam, on Monday debunked claims that he allegedly misappropriated funds that accrued to the state between 2007 and 2015 when he served as governor.

Speaking during a thanksgiving service organized in his honour by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Benue North West Senatorial District at St Vincent Catholic Church Iorwar, Aliade, Benue State, Suswam said he did what was right for the people during his tenure.
“I did what a good and caring governor should do for his people while I was governor in Benue State and that is why I haven’t been found wanting by anyone up till now except for those sponsoring media attacks against my person.
“As far as I am concerned, I didn’t mismanage a dime out of all the funds realized by the state under my watch as governor,” he said.
The former governor is being accused of looting state funds while in office, the latest of the allegations being the $24 million that accrued to the state as debt refunds from the Paris and London clubs.The Benue State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC had urged him to toe the path of honour by returning the monies he allegedly stole from the state treasury while serving as Governor.
