The acting governor of Taraba State, Alhaji Garba Umar, has declared his ailing boss, Danbaba Danfulani Suntai missing.
Umar, who made this shocking disclosure yesterday in Jalingo during a media chat with journalists, said that he had not set his eyes on his boss, Governor Suntai, since he was flown into the country by a certain cabal.
“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 airpot 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 an SUV, which immediately drove him to T.Y. Danjuma Lodge”.
On the crisis in the state, he said, “I thank God this year’s sallah was peaceful; peace has returned to some of the crisis areas in the state. And I have also constituted a reconciliation committee to ensure that those who fled their homes because of crisis return”.
Reacting to Umar’s claim, a former commissioner for information in the state, Mr. Emmanuel Bello, told Leadership on phone that Suntai was not missing.
He explained that governor Suntai was doing well and would soon return to the office.
“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
