My Husband Isn't Fit To Be Governor - Suntai's Wife Reveals
The wife of brain-impaired Governor
Danbaba Suntai today admitted that
her husband was physically unfit to
resume official duties as the chief
executive of Taraba State.
Mrs. Suntai made the
admission when a PDP
fact-finding committee
led by Senator Hope
Uzodinma visited the ailing governor
today. The Acting Governor of Taraba,
Umar Garba, as well as the Speaker of
the Taraba State House of Assembly,
Haruna Tsokwa, accompanied Mr.
Uzodinma. Mrs. Suntai as well as Senator
Emmanuel Bwatcha were also present at
the meeting.
Two sources told SaharaReporters that
the meeting with Mr. Suntai lasted only
10 minutes. One source disclosed that
the state's Acting Governor had to
introduce himself to the ailing governor,
as Mr. Suntai failed to recognize him.
After exchanging pleasantries, the team
met with Mr. Suntai's wife as
photojournalists were briefly ushered in
to take photos.
Our sources revealed that Mrs. Suntai
then confessed to members of the
Uzodinma committee and an enlarged
body of stakeholders that her husband
was unfit to run the affairs of the state.
"She told the group that the governor
was only brought back home [from an
American hospital where he was being
treated] because he was homesick," one
of our sources stated. The ailing
governor's wife then suggested that Mr.
Suntai would be taken out of the country
in less than a month in order to undergo
additional rehab.
The Uzodinma-led stakeholders' meeting
was the culmination of a series of
meetings the Acting Governor had held
during his recent trip to Abuja.
A stakeholders meeting attended by
"political elders," members of the Taraba
State Assembly as well as members of
the Taraba State contingent at the
National Assembly in Abuja had resolved
that the acting governor should continue
running the affairs of the state.
However, the stakeholders asked the
acting governor to consult with Mr.
Suntai or his close associates on crucial
issues.
According to a member of the Taraba
legislature, "This was the best political
solution we could come up with. Instead
of overheating the state, we decided to
have a situation where the acting
governor shares power with those that
represent the interests of Governor
Danbaba Suntai."
Mr. Uzodinma and his team have since
left Taraba State for Abuja where they
are expected to brief members of the
old PDP as well as officials at the
Nigerian Presidency.
