FORMER Governor of Benue State, Gabriel Suswan last weekend clocked 51. Although there was no fanfare as many had expected that the former governor would celebrate it to high heavens, it was learnt that the celebrated-lawyer-cum-politician only marked his special day with his family and close associates.

And trust his few buddies such as Hon Terra Atoza, Hon Solomon Wombo, Hon Richard Gbande and several others, they didn’t let the day pass by without placing congratulatory advertorials in a few national daily newspapers last Sunday.

Born on November 15, 1964 in Ayiin Local Government Area of Benue State, in 1986, he was admitted into the Law Faculty of the University of Lagos. He obtained an LL.B degree in 1989, and the BL Certificate from the Nigerian Law School Lagos in 1990. He was called to the Bar that year.
