People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Fact-Finding Committee on
the health condition of Governor Danbaba Suntai of Taraba has affirmed
Alhaji Garba Umar as the Acting Governor of the state.
Briefing journalists after about a two-hour close door meeting, the
committee Chairman, Sen. Hope Uzodima, stated that the impasse had been
resolved with all stakeholders including Suntai’s wife, Hauwa.
He said the acting governor should from time-to-time consult
with Suntai on major political issues in the state, while he (Suntai)
recuperates.
The committee chairman further stressed that the issue was a purely
PDP in-house problem which, as a family, could be sorted out amicably.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Suntai returned to the
state on August 25, after 10 months of medical treatment abroad,
following his involvement in a plane crash in October 2012.
Uzodima’s committee, which was received at the Jalingo airport by the
acting governor and many top government functionaries, visited Suntai
briefly in his official residence.
NAN also reports that two parallel organs of governments were being
run in the state before Tuesday’s resolution as three commissioners had
complied with the purported dissolution of the State Executive Council.
The three commissioners had handed over their offices to the
permanent secretaries of the ministries while four commissioners did not
comply.
