Danbaba Suntai
Six days after addressing the people of the state, recuperating Taraba State Governor, Danbaba Suntai, has remained incommunicado. In a video transmitted on state television last Wednesday, Suntai had addressed the people of the state during which he thanked them for their prayers for him and his family, and urged them to continue to pray for the peace and unity of the state after which he met with the leadership of the state House of Assembly.
But less than 24 hours after meeting the governor, the state assembly, in a press release signed by the speaker and endorsed by 16 of the 24-member assembly, mandated Alhaji Garba Umar to continue in office as acting governor, saying after meeting with Suntai on Wednesday, the House was convinced that he was not yet fit to administer the state.
The assembly also insisted that its visit to the governor revealed that Suntai was not the author of the letter transmitted to the House by the governor, saying he spoke in a manner that brought more doubts to his authorship of the letter.
But since his address to the people of the state, Suntai has remained incommunicado as neither has he been seen or heard in the public, though his wife Hauwa flew to Abuja on Friday and returned Saturday after meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan.
