The incumbent Governor of Benue State, Gabriel Suswam, has informed the state Governor-elect, Chief Samuel Ortom, to look after him after his exit from office in May.
Suswam reportedly said this at the Government House Banquet Hall in Makurdi on Monday, when he hosted the Governor-elect .
He said, “When I leave(office), I will be a burden on you and you must take care of me.”
According to Punch reports, Suswam assured Ortom that his party (PDP) will not challenge his victory in court, claiming that litigation was an unnecessary distraction.
Governor-elect Ortom, who contested the election on the platform of APC, said he was overwhelmed when the incumbent governor called him on Sunday to congratulate him on his victory at the polls. He commended Suswam for displaying “sound maturity” on the outcome of the election.
He also commended his PDP opponent, Terhemen Tarzoor, who he said, had called to congratulate him.
Rounding up his speech, Suswam said he had started a peaceful transition to enable the Governor-elect to take over from him.
He said, “I’ve already started a peaceful transition to enable the Governor-elect to take over power after the expiration of my tenure.”
He however further reiterated that the Governor - elect must look after him after he leaves office in May.

Suswan is a bloody idiot. Thief. Robber. Take care of him indeed. The billions of Naira he stole as governor of venue for 8 years is not enough for him. He still wants to be taken care of. Rogue like him. This is a man who hadn't paid salaries in his state since last year.nwho is taking care of the men and women he is owing salaries. There is a special place in hell waiting for people like gabriel suswan. Karma will surely deal with him. It s only a matter of time

ReplyDeleteTake care of him, really????
DeleteThere are different types of taking care of there is
DeleteOfficer (in efcc voice ) take care of him
Or
GOD handle/take care of his case
Etc.....etc......
Does the governor elect look like a carer?
ReplyDeleteOga go and enjoy tax payers money you kept in one international bank and stop thinking about being a burden. Baba agbaya
Burden ke
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm
He was just joking, obviously
ReplyDeleteYea seems he was joking alright. Might have a hidden meaning tho...either way. It's none of my business
DeleteObviously a joke or do they think he'd say such in public??? Bvs don't know how to tell these things, they'd just jump right into insults. Loosen up people!
DeleteHian.. What was his point exactly?? After showing visible difference between the Tiv and others. I wonder where is Greediness will escalate to again..
ReplyDeleteSueSwarm. JusT shut up already. Benue has had enough of u...
Shameless politician. upon all the money he looted he is still not contented. The sad thing is that the governor elect will still be taking care of his financial needs because he helped him become a governor
ReplyDeleteIs it by force? he must?Let him first handover and know what's up.
ReplyDeleteBurden?? Him be invalid abi is there something we need to know??
ReplyDeleteI am not surprised by this reckless statement. Politicians in Nigeria are always indebted to the godfather that helped him get elected into office . that is the sad reality here . This is what caused problems between Fashola and tinubu some time ago. Fashola was almost impeached if not that he played a long later on.
ReplyDeleteSuswam just betrayed the real reason a number of incumbents who lost their elections ave been so "magnanimous" to concede and congratulate the victors. They want soft landing. Starting from Jona himself.
ReplyDeleteDon't even touch my Jonathan at all. We go fight o. Lol
DeleteI am sure suswan made campaign contributions to the governor elect. if not he won't say he must be taken care of by the incoming governor.
ReplyDeleteU know u can assemble all u have to say under one comment, right? Instead of occupying space meant for others.
DeleteI follow u do hmmmmmmmm too
ReplyDeletePoliticians and greediness. No amount of money is ok for them. That is why Tinubu inspite of all the money he looted from Lagos state, he still wants loot more on the national stage. It is a shame
ReplyDeleteIts greed not greediness.
DeleteNa wa ooooo. What's with all this comment nah? Can't u comment once and rest?
DeleteJonathan set the pace for ya'al
ReplyDeleteBefore you mention Jonathan, mention Fayemi of Ekiti, remember the election with Fayose where he lost and conceded defeat gracefully.
DeleteConceded gracefully, u say! Didn't u read about all d problems his loss caused? What are u saying sef
DeleteStomach infrastructure. I couldn't comment yesterday. ''bet why''
ReplyDeleteYes, the same way buhari is going to take care of tinubu by allowing him to loot Nigeria dry since he was the one that financed his campaign with his looted public fund.
ReplyDeleteU have started again, .....
DeleteThis man, leave politics and face ur work o! U lack the aptitude to analyse accurately. Just face toto eating only.
DeleteThis man is trying to say he's decamping to apc soon,na him sabi. Gud morni bv's and stella. Ekarooooo.
ReplyDeleteYes,of course.
ReplyDeleteHe will,till you start butting yourself into his biz ,then he will kick u off the Benue radar.
Story
ReplyDeleteNa waa! The shameless utterances of our politicians is really tiring. What if the Governor-elect wishes to probe the Suswan's administration?
ReplyDeleteTaaaaaa he's got no other choice, in fact PDP has no other choice than concede defeat every where they lost coz this election is clearly the people's choice.
ReplyDeleteTaaaaa sharaaaap. Do face like roadside puff puff wey never done. So you have mouth to talk abi. Stay tuned, your gist is downloading on this blog
DeleteHahahaha anony ogini?
DeleteHehe wetin this statement come mean kwanor
ReplyDeleteShameless man. Enemies of Nigeria. Take care of you indeed .
ReplyDeleteThis Benue people are too lazy. How can a former governor expect to live on a handout by the incumbent. Thats why Benue state is so under developed. That is also the reason why fulani herdsmen ie buhari 's brothers are gradually driving them away from their land. Lazy people
ReplyDeleteAll u know how to do is eat toto and dts why you don't think with your brain. You define d word stupidity in all your comments. If u are not lazy you will not spend your time making one million comments on every post.
DeleteGreediness and shameless in the highest order. Even Tinubu can not say this publicly.
ReplyDeleteToto e don do naa
Delete@nwakaego you shortened his name to toto?
DeleteI no fit laff;, kai ! No kill person for this blog o!
Soft landing things
ReplyDeleteLike seriously,Suswan must be joking.....
ReplyDeleteIt may seem like a joke but then he has passed his message across. You go fear future security....

Suswan I can see how shameless you are. After depriving tax payers their salaries for almost a year, who took care of them. Idiot man that has no shame. Sat on benue state for 8years and did nothing. You won't live on this earth forever, you have a self contain in hell waiting. Mr governor elect, if you like use suswan as your handbag, na you sabi.
ReplyDeleteIn other news, is there any bv in Minna or Kaduna that will be kind enough to teach me makeup or bead making for free abeg or at a cheap rate. 3years post NYSC, I no see job. Depression want kill me. Please any angel to help a sister?
olori buruku somebody. I am a card carrying member of pdp and I know that only God can forgive you for the hunger u have brought upon ur workforce.
ReplyDeletethe way u fucked things up for pdp by being the single most useless governor, God will repay you. Amen
Benue gov elect to Suswam "You must enjoy me".
ReplyDeleteHe should take care of you? You never even commot fear don dey catch you. Tomorrow you'll swear its a joke. This joke & Oba Akiolu's lagoon joke belong in the same category.... Tasteless. Old men who should know better on how to speak in public especially in times like this making expensive jokes.
ReplyDeleteAna emenu....
