omenka: As the judiciary and Abuja keep mum over this ongoing treason, they tacitly give nod to it's recurence.

Until we rise above ethnoreligious politicking, real change and development would forever elude us.

The law was just recently ammended after the Late Yar'Adua saga. It is the collective wisdom of the Nigerians, via the NA that the Governor does not need to address his State when he resumes from 'prolonged vacation' so that 'everybody goes to rest'.

As I stated earlier, a Governor does not have to be physically strong to run his State. All that is needed to run a State is a sound mind to give orders. I cannot prove that Suntai is strong, neither can i prove otherwise. So do other commentators here, so why talk with a tone of finality that a treason has been carried out? For your information, President Jonathan did not write or necessarily sign the letter that sacked the youth minister. He gave orders to SGF and he carried it out. How is that different from Suntai's situation?

You are singling out Suntai because you think that he is not physically strong. Physical strenght is not a precondition for governorship position in Nigeria, and no politicain, including those who disagree with me will resign from their office when they want to go and undergo cancer treatment or after experiencing an accident. Most of you guys here believed everything you read about Chime and PEJ. I can assure you that not even everything you heard about the Late President Yar'Adua is true.

eGuerrilla:

You better accept that not all commentators around these parts are open to reason.
I mean, one even tagged me an Islamic fundamentalist for highlighting the governor's diminished cognitive skills, just for the fun of it. So conceited are this lot that, for them, there is no contradiction between their loathing for the cabal which pushed our Nation to the point of precipice not so long ago, and the support they now provide to its equivalent in Taraba state.

You sabi book. As long as he is not mentally incapacitated nothing unusual here; the constitution does not stop physically challenged from holding any office in Nigeria.

What exactly is legally treasonable about what just happened? Learn to isolate 'how you feel' from facts before you when you want to reach conclusions. The consititution we are operating empowers him to resume his office by just writing a letter to the HOA when he returns. This letter is only a notification that he has resumed, not a permission.

Besides, the guy may be physically weak but mentally and psychologically strong. Neither you nor I are doctors or psychologists to de-certify him. Even if doctors or psychologists must do this, there are legal ways to go about it.

Again, he was elected by Tarabans to be their governor. When they are tired of him, the law demand that they should prevail on their HOA members to impeach him. He was away for 8 months and the HOA could not even raise the motion.

Politically speaking, sacking his cabinet is a very strong political statement, indicating who is the Governor. He needs to press the reset button and reassemble his team.

Finally, Nigerian law does not seem to be against the physically challenged running for an office. It is actually against mentally challenged taking charge of Taraban affairs. For now, the doctors has not confirmed Suntai to be mentally challenged.

Okija_juju: WAY TO GO SUNTAI!!!













All disloyal cabinet members need to go... All those cabinet members who capitalized on his absence to fvck up the state need to go. All those members that thought he was dead need to go..


This is a strong political move..

Next!! A 'State of the Union' address from him to shut all critics up..

I'm loving the 2nd coming of Suntai way too much..

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.
