Things has been
falling apart in the once peaceful Taraba state, following the taking over of
the reign of affairs in the state by the Acting Governor, Alhaji Garba Umar, there
have been accusations and counter accusations by Acting governor and some other influential
politicians of the state. It would be recalled that the acting governor Umar
Garba, accused Senator Emmanuel Bwacha of inciting violence by calling for the
declaration of state of emergency.
Senator Bwacha,
on his part had blamed the lingering ethnic clashes in the state on the
ambition of some powerful cabal to prevent power shift to the southern part of
the state. The senator is from the mostly Christian southern part of the state,
while Mr. Garba is from the Muslim dominated northern axis.
Having said that, the recuperating Governor of Taraba State Danbaba Suntai , that i saw on youtube interview
moment ago is brain-damaged and not mentally okay to do anything than to just retire to his home
town and relinquish power
to his deputy, Garba Umar.
Suntai who came back to the country on Saturday night was
said to be was angry with Umar for
attempting to declare him unfit to resume work by asking the House of Assembly
to probe his state of health.
According to Vanguard, a close aide to the governor said,
“Umar is complaining to those who care to listen that he is being prevented
from seeing his boss but what he is passing through serves him right because he
no longer enjoys the confidence of Suntai.
“The governor is
upset that Umar is goading the members of the House of Assembly to declare him
unfit to work when in reality he has returned and is ready to resume work.
“The true
position of the law is that Umar should step aside once the governor returns to
the state but in this case he is trying to play games by considering setting up
a medical board to examine his boss, who is already back and has recovered
considerably,” the aide said
It is interesting to note that the governor has been
incapacitated following the 2012 air crash that resulted in prolonged
hospitalisation abroad. Also it is obvious that this man is mentally imbalanced,
if this guy is now ok as claimed by his hang-on, why then do they continue to
block the acting governor who have been making spirited efforts to meet with his boss but was prevented from seeing him
in a private guest house, where he is said to be resting?
