Taraba State: Suntai Unfit To Return To Governorship, House of Assembly Says

The Taraba State House of Assembly says it is convinced that Governor Danbaba Suntai could not have authored the letter that was transmitted to it on Monday indicating he was fit to return to work, and authorized the Acting Governor to continue in that capacity.

In a press statement following the visit of the members of the House to Governor Suntai yesterday, Speaker Haruna Sokwa said that during their visit, the governor spoke in a manner that brought more doubt that he could have written the letter.

“Be that as it may, we the undersigned members of the State House of Assembly have unanimously resolved in our meeting that the deputy governor upon whom power was earlier transmitted by the State House of Assembly still remains the Acting Governor of Taraba State and he will continue to act in that regards until such a time the Governor is capable of administering the State,” the statement said.

Governor Suntai suffered brain injuries in an aircrash in October 2012, and for 10 months was treated first in Germany and then the United States. Doctors said his injuries were so severe he could not lead a normal life, but last weekend, he was brought back to the country by a cabal led by his wife, claiming he was “healed.”

Within 24 hours, the cabal had sent a letter to the House, claiming it originated from the governor, following which “the governor” also dissolved the cabinet.

It is unclear if those behind the plot will be made to face the law.

Nigeria my dear country. But i'm sure he's not the one writing those letters.. Instead of his wife to allow him take proper treatment, all she keep on agitating for is the seat of power. God is watching though.

We seen this situation before and how it ended.

House of assembly says or speaker says?

God forbid, wat hapens if he doesnt get wel in d nearest future? D deputy act like forever? Why is it dificult as a ppl to always get tins ryt?

Nice one! Thanks for using common sense and not succumbing to that selfish Mrs. Suntai (Turai the 2nd) and her co-fraudsters.

See greed at the highest level. Suntai is a good man but people around him want to destroy him. Was this man a pilot? From my understanding is only pilot that can fly plane due to its technicalties.
