[size=14pt]Benue State Governor, Suswam, in Certificate Forgery Scandal[/size]


The Benue governor and so-called zonal co-ordinator of Jonathan's campaign for the PDP ticket in the 2010 presidential election, Gabriel Suswam, is a man fighting on several fronts these days. Although the widely despised Suswam is in a fierce fight to retain the governorship of his state, his toughest battle today is the one concerning the very damning and credible allegations of certificate forgery that have been levelled against him.

Instead of doing the right thing by going to court to defend himself, the Benue governor has decided to play hide-and-seek.

The Benue people and the rest of the citizenry will not accept the governor's sense of impunity. Why is the president apparently not encouraging his sidekick to submit himself to the laws of the land?

Benue State Governor, Gabriel Suswam, In Certificate Forgery Scandal
Posted: November 27, 2010 - 20:17

By SaharaReporters, New York

SaharaReporters is in possession of documents indicating that Benue State Governor, Gabriel Suswam, may have forged the West Africa School Certificate with which he was purportedly admitted to the University of Lagos to study law.

The contentious certificate is also one of the supporting documents the governor submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission in the run-up to his election as governor in 2007.

Suswam, who is coordinator of President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign in the North-central region, was supposedly admitted to UNILAG on the basis of a 1982 General Certificate of Education (GCE) Ordinary Level certificate with candidate number: 07652151.

The original certificate portrayed him as having passed five subjects, the subjects passed were without Mathematics and English, which is a pre-requisite subject for admission into law programmes in Nigerian universities.

However, while the governor’s traducers were still wondering how he managed to sneak into the University of Lagos without appropriate entry requirements, Suswam wrote to WAEC in 2005, claiming that his certificate was missing. He attached photocopies of the purportedly missing certificate, a police extract and affidavit of loss of certificate to the letter.

Shortly afterwards, the governor claimed WAEC sent him a replacement for his lost certificate. The new certificate came with the same candidate number (07652151), with his passport photograph embossed on it.

However, the new certificate had significant changes indicating that Suswam passed "English and Mathematics", significantly raising the possibility that the new document is “a complete forgery” according to Suswan critics.

Already, Terver Kakih, a governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party in Benue state, has asked a Federal High Court in Makurdi to order the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Crimes Commission (ICPC) to investigate the alleged forgery and other allegations of financial impropriety and embezzlement levelled against the governor in various petitions.

Joined in the suit, in which Kakih asked the West African Examination Council to withdraw and cancel the forged certificate, were the EFCC, the ICPC, INEC, the Benue State House of Assembly, the Benue state Attorney General, and the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice.


When the case came up for hearing last Thursday, Suswam and the other defendants failed to show up in court, neither did any counsels represent them. Justice Abimbola Ogie therefore ordered the parties to appear on the next adjourned date, December 3rd, 2010.

Not too long ago, one Chigozie Ukpabi squealed on Suswam, saying he helped the governor to falsify the results.

In the forgery business, the subject of this thread is still better than Tinubu, though

Mumu
Tinubu lied about the school he attended
His certificates are as valid as ever, however.

He lied about going to GCI, never attended GCI. His WAEC results are valid nevertheless
He lied about going to U of Chicago, although wrong, no one doubts the fact that he actually attended Ryder college before trasnferring to Chicago state. According to his teachers, he was a brilliant student.

His crime is that he wants to be regarded as one of the best, if not the best. His lies centered around the schools he attended, not the authenticity of his pali.

Tinubu is better, by miles.

Mumu x2
Tinubu presented a fake University of Chicago certificate in agreement with his equally fake claims of attending that uni. Thus, he is the number one academic cert forger in Nigeria whom Gani tried to fight but the man was simply a powerful prize negotiator with the judges.

^^^ mumu x2³
Tinubu Never presented any U of C certificate
He claimed to have attended the prestigious school on an INEC form.

Go check your facts. Omo Ibo.

The only reason he got away with it is because he was able to argue that the form was filled out by Afikuyomi
If there was a forged certificate presented, we would have seen it.

He lied, he did not forge a certificate, dimwit!

Now here you are defending a confirmed forger. I believe you must be forging stuff too in Minnesotta. Carry go, your cup go soon full.

We are very silly in this country, don't we do verification of documents before we elect our governors, presidents and the rest of them?

There is a limit to verification. You wouldn't go about verifying WAEC result for someone who has a JD or LLB.
