The wreckage of the aircraft carrying Governor Danbaba Suntai of Taraba, which crashed behind NNPC Yola Depot, on Yola-Numan Road… on Friday.
|
FAMILIES of the injured aides of Taraba State Governor Dambaba Suntai, on Sunday, asked the government to extend same overseas treatment to their loved ones as their injured boss.
The governor and the aides were the occupants of the Cessna 208, 5N-BMJ Jet that crashed at the Yola airport last Thursday.

Some members of the families who craved anonymity told journalists in Abuja that if the governor could be flown to Germany, it showed that the government lacked confidence in the local hospitals.
They spoke their minds when the injured aides were transferred from Yola to the National Hospital, Abuja, 30 hours after Suntai was flown abroad.

“Considering the degree of injuries, I think they should be transferred overseas. After all what is good for the governor will still be good for his aides. They were in the same aircraft with the governor and I think they should be given the same treatment like him,” one of them said.

Our correspondent learnt in Abuja on Sunday that Suntai’s Aide de Camp, Dasat Iliya, had been lying unconscious at the Yola hospital since the incident that also left the governor in critical condition.
But the governor who had been airlifted to the National Hospital on Friday was early on Saturday flown to Germany for treatment while the injured aides were brought to the National Hospital on Sunday.

The Chief Detail to the Governor, Joel Dan, was also said to be having a fractured arm while the governor’s Chief Security Officer, Timo Dangana, reportedly had his two legs damaged.

Both Dan and Dangana had been reportedly taken to Jalingo, Taraba State Capital for treatment before they were transferred to Abuja Sunday night.

The governor’s aides were brought to the National Hospital in a convoy of siren-blaring ambulances at 6.40pm on Sunday.

Must you quote everything?

i wonder why nigerians reason like fishes, because he had a crash prob due to mechanical fault he shud hv his licence taken away, he is qualified to fly a jet, go nd learn how to fly it cost jst 7.5m, as for d aides dey shud neva enta plane wit him again, but like dey will hear

They PDP led FG has shown you that even if you die 4 them, the only care for their member, not you. Use your brain. You are on your own.

so them wan leave the aides for naija before abi...chai as if those aides no be human like the thief wey take our money buy plane con crash

As if the governor was not the one they must have dutifully followed into the ill-fated aircraft... What is good for the goose should not be denied the gander. Whichever government took Suntai to Germany for intensive medical care and abandoned his aides is very wicked o. God punish am!

Nigeria Govt re funny.......Why d Aids re not treated in abroad like the governor at less they re all in the plane...abi d injury of the governor is diff frm d others in d plane......It show that the leader are superior than ordinary person on the street .....

na dem sabi..........

collins123: Must you quote everything?

Don't mind him.


patience has successfully transferred her sickness and imminent death to someone else , to be brought to the same hospital.
If the Nigerian Government can take the governor and leave the aides , it shows that they don't value human lives and don't value the masses, and they don't know that this would not rub well on all aides and assistants of political figures.

what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

Interesting. Let's see the FG's Response.

my brother, d Lord is ur strength

injustice of highest order. Nigeria lack gud leader and d leaders are deceitful. In a nutshel, our health system are nt meant for our leaders, only d poor are to attend d unequipped and unmaned hospitals. If there is a case beyond our local doctors d patient shal die. My prayer is any leader dat use masses treasury rather dan hs or ha hard earn money in seeking health abroad, shl die b4 airlift.

Its totally unfair for him to be flown abroad without his aides afterall they wouldn't have gotten into the plane without him

collins123: Must you quote everything?

abeg help me tell am! Seems his eyes were shut when reading the post.smh

those aids derserve to be given equal treatment same as the governor. we are all equal in his presence

So someone with a broken arm should be flown abroad for medical treatment. Nonsense!

@ the families, the question is ; are you a governor? you are just an aid to the governor. I feel your pain but lets get this fact, if injury sustained by the aides are more pressing which cannot be solved in our own hospital, He or She should be given the privilege to go abroad.

Ok calm down guys! All animals' ain't the same.

I talk am for the last thread say na Igbobi dem go transfer dem aides to....na today....why are the families surpirsed that the Gov is given preferential treatment....

- and tomorrow they would want you to sacrifice yourself for the country... this is how they abandon people who work tirelessly for Government... Patriotism indeed!

So the life of the governor is more precious than the people he swore to protect?

I think they will rather take new aides to attend to the governor in Gemany, he is done with the ones that crashed with him! of what use are they to him now that they are unconscious? thats just the painful truth all animals are not equal take it or leave it.

When the Gov was Flown to Germany and those with him were left out.I said to my self this must be a wicked country.Some lifes are more important than the others.

so not surprised. I would have been more surprised if they flew the aides out for treatment.how then would we know the governor is their "oga"

My prayer for fed govt is that let nothing happens to any of those aids of the Gov left behind while the Gov is flown to Germany. if it happens Nigerians we go take their eyes touch pepper.

All animals are equal but some are more equal than the others.

Hmmm speechless
**clears throat** I'll check back

If they dies then the families will be offered N500,000 each by the FG,clueless govt.

chucky234: If they dies then the families will be offered N500,000 each by the FG,clueless govt.

500,000 is even good. what of come today come tommorow

Those Aides should be thanking their stars that their Oga survived just like them. If Oga had died and they survived, we would not be talking Germany now.
