Taraba - Home fo Political Drama.
The acting governor of Taraba State, Alhaji Garba Umar,
has declared that his boss, Governor Danbaba Suntai, has gone missing, the
Vanguard reports.
Governor Umar stated in an interview on Monday, that he had
not set his eyes on Governor Suntai ever since he came back from the UK some
weeks ago.
He narrated how he tried to connect with his boss as soon as
he got back but all efforts to meet with him were abortive.
Umar said:
“Few of my aides and I were already at the
domestic wing of the airport to receive my boss but, unknowingly to me, the
cabal was already waiting at the international wing of the airport where the
plane conveying my boss was directed to land. When I got to know that the plane
landed at the international wing, I rushed to the place to receive him, but he
was in a jeep which immediately drove him to T.Y. Danjuma’s lodge.”
Umar also insisted that his missing boss is a self-centered
mechanism employed by some cabal to hold on to power by holding him hostage.
However, a former commissioner for information in the state,
Mr. Emmanuel Bello, told reporters that Suntai was not missing.
He explained that governor Suntai was doing well and would
soon return to the state to continue his business of governance.
“Since our dear governor returned from his medical trip, he
has been at the Governor’s Lodge, otherwise called T.Y. Danjuma House, located
at Asokoro in Abuja,” Bello said.
He stressed that the acting governor, was only waiting for
this tenure to elapse, and that after the expiration of Suntai’s administration
that brought him as deputy governor, he would pack his luggage out of
Government House.
