Danbaba Suntai, Taraba Governor Not Fit To Rule

Fit and Healthy Governor Danbaba Suntai

Their is a School of Thought with this view; "A Wife Knows The Husband"...who better can come out openly to state clearly the unfitness of ailing husband and Governor of Taraba State, aside medical experts, the wife certainly!
 
Finally, we wont be having a re-enactment of the Late President Yar-Adua's saga in Taraba State following statement by Mrs. Suntai concerning her husband, Governor Danbaba Suntai's health. She stated clearly to members of the Uzodinma led PDP committee and an enlarged body of stakeholders that her husband was unfit to administer the affairs of the state and was only brought back home from an American hospital where he was being treated because he missed home{Taraba State, Nigeria}.
 
Governor Danbaba Suntai of Taraba State on October 25th, 2012 had this unfortunate air crash causing him to be moved to various hospitals in the country and abroad and returned August 25th, 2013. See picture of his crashed plane and arrival pictures of him been helped by his aide after the cut.....

Below is an excerpt of the report:
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.

Justice And The Killer Cop

  NOT surprisingly, and for good reasons too, security agencies, in particular the Nigeria Police, have been placed on the spot by local and international human rights communities for their highhandedness in dealing with suspects in custody or at points of arrest. Quite a number of extra-judicial killings and tortures in these circumstances have been highlighted by the local media too.    Against this background, the judgment of the Bayelsa State High Court, Nembe Division, sitting in Yenagoa, delivered by Justice Lucky Boufili sending killer policeman, Matthew Egheghe, to the gallows is most welcome. It is a bold statement that the law frowns at cruelty by uniformed officers of the state and that an appropriate premium is placed on life by the Nigerian state.   That judgment would not bring back the dead, but it should to some extent console their grieving families that justice was served to the guilty. It would equally serve as a deterrent to trigger-h...
