Governor Suntai Is Brain-damaged - SaharaReporters by Maxymilliano(m): 5:55am On Dec 01, 2012
By SaharaReporters, New York

Governor Danbaba Suntai of Taraba State, who was seriously injured when his plane crashed on October 25 in Yola, capital of Adamawa State, has suffered extensive brain damage and failed to recognize members of a presidential delegation that visited him at a hospital in Hanover, Germany, an authoritative source has told SaharaReporters.

A source close to a senior member of the delegation described the trip to see Mr. Suntai as highly secretive. SaharaReporters learnt that members of the delegation had officially traveled to Vatican City in Rome to witness the consecration of Archbishop John Onaiyekan as a Cardinal of the Catholic Church. After the ceremony in Italy, the delegation then made a quick detour to Germany to see the injured Mr. Suntai.

A trip put together by Gladys Modupeola Quist-Adebiyi, a staff of the Protocol Department at the Presidency was led by Senate President, David Mark, the delegation included Governor Ibrahim Yakowa of Kaduna State, President Goodluck Jonathan’s chief of staff, Mike Oghiadomhe, also on the delegation was John Kennedy Opara, the secretary of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC) and the Chaplain of the Presidential Villa Chapel, Venerable Obioma Onwuzurumba.

Our source said members of the delegation were shocked to see Mr. Suntai in a vegetative state.“His condition was so bad that they could not publicly disclose his condition after they returned to Nigeria,”said the source.

SaharaReporters gathered that Mr. Suntai suffered brain damage in the crash of the small plane he was piloting. The crash happened a short distance from the Yola airport. Initial reports from eyewitnesses said Mr. Suntai had died, but it later emerged that he had survived the crash, albeit with critical injuries. He was transferred to the National Hospital in Abuja before being airlifted to Germany after President Jonathan had visited him and given a rosy picture of his condition.

Four state officials traveling with Mr. Suntai in the crashed plane were treated in hospitals in Adamawa and later transferred to Germany for treatment after a public outcry.

Since Mr. Suntai’s airlift to Germany, officials of the Taraba State government have engaged in propaganda, claiming that the governor was making remarkable recovery. But our sources, including an official of the state government, admitted that Mr. Suntai’s mental faculty had deteriorated since the accident and that his memory was virtually impaired.
“It is possible that he suffered brain damage because there was some delay before he could be taken abroad,”said a state official.

Contacted by SaharaReporters, a Taraba-born political activist who is based in Abuja said he had also heard about the visit to the ailing governor by Senate President Mark's delegation. He wondered if Mr. Mark’s silence on Governor Suntai's health status signaled a scheme by President Jonathan to delay the swearing in of the deputy governor as the substantive governor.

“We all know how President Umaru Yar’Adua’s people continued to deceive Nigerians that the man was recovering well and how they even brought him back in a comatose state and declared that he was in control of Nigeria,”said the activist. He added:“I hope President Jonathan and the PDP are not planning a similar scenario whereby they will declare that Governor Suntai is in control-until they find a malleable successor who suits them.”

The activist stated that the Presidency should state the truth about the injured governor’s condition to enable the people of Taraba to move ahead with a new administration.“The fact that the people of Taraba have not heard from or seen the governor since the air crash on October 25 2012 means that the man is no longer fit to govern them,”he said.

I just hope goverment officials dont use this to siphon funds in his state and claim he did,since I'm not sure he will likely recover and that will mean he wont be accountable due to the brain damage.

If it's true he suffered a brain damage, they should stop lying to us and stop using the delay tactics. They should swear in the deputy governor forthwith. Africans are so obsessed with power, even when they are incapable of leading as a result of incapacitation they still find it strenuous to disclose to us the status quo. smh

Are you in Nigeria? The deputy governor has been sworn in over two weeks ago.

Anyway never believe these Sahara liars. They are full of lies.

what do you know - u sure say the peeps from wazobia report no be winch

the guy is now as good as a vegetable/log of wood for real

http://www.wazobiareport.com/reports/Danbaba-Danfulani-Suntai,-governor-of-Taraba-state,-to-be-replaced-with-a-polished-pieced-of-wood

Jalingo – Plans have been concluded by frustrated residents of Taraba state to replace their less-than-active governor with a polished piece of wood.

A source within the Aggrieved Residents of Taraba committee asked wazobiareport.com a simple question: “Have you people ever heard of Danbaba Danfulani Suntai?"

Unfortunately we had no
idea who he was talking about until we managed to google his name on Bing.

The inactive governor of Taraba state is said to be solely focused on being unfocused, and like his political colleague Obj, he simply does not give a damn.

This explains why not many have heard this strange name outside of Taraba state.

Residents have therefore insisted on replacing the governor with a polished piece of wood, because although it (the piece of wood) might be almost as inactive as the current governor on issues of governance and progress, it will also remain inactive with the state treasury, which is more than can be said about the current administration.

Meanwhile, the situation in Taraba appears to have sparked a dangerous trend in the nation as citizens have began to clamor for the replacement of political figures with various objects and
animals.

The residents of Oyo state appear to favor an old pair of jeans to replace their current governor, while the Idoma people of Benue state were said to have embraced a carpenter’s hammer and a very
big goat to replace the governor and senate president respectively.

Residents of Abia state are said to be interested in replacing their current governor with absolutely nothing.

The people’s choices of replacement for their leaders appear to reflect exactly how they feel about them.

“I will rather be led by a lifeless stick and a brainless goat in their real form than a lifeless stick and a brainless goat disguised as a human being,” said one of the protesters.

Re: Governor Suntai Is Brain-damaged - SaharaReporters by Clemzy16(m): 9:14am On Dec 01, 2012
Nigerians and their inferiority complex! Did the hospital release any report that the governor has amnesia?! Amongst the delegates that paid him a visit, is any of them a medical expert?! Why then did they send a report to "SaharaRepoters" that he is brain-damaged?! What makes them thinks he knew them anyway?! Or is it now mandatory that all governors must know people occupying top public positions even if they haven't met one-on-one?! Now they wanna totally tanish the image of the poor governor. With what they have done, No doubt the governor will not be able to secure a place for second tenure if he comes back to occupy his position as governor of taraba state. So much for owning a private jet. Who's going to be NEXT?!

We are at it again! Barely 2yrs 4rm d last episode & d actors remain d same.
David Mark is now an expert at concealing 'political' health conditions. Remember d pretended quarrel btwn d House n d Senate over whr Yar'adu will present d 2010 budget in 2009. It ws a ruse 2 shield Yar'adua's ill health (he is at it again!)
Enter actor GEJ dt sat in Aso rock whl Tunde Bakare occupied & protestd 4 him 2 be sworn in (he has 4gotn so soon)
Nigeria shall experience change d day we start importing our political leaders 4rm d moon.
We had a dead President ruling over 160m ppl, talkless of a governor. Afterall whether dead or alive, we see no difference.
