A surprise invitation was extended to the
lawmakers to meet Mr. Suntai after a group of
state legislators threatened to commence the
ailing governor's impeachment. One of the
lawmakers who saw Mr. Suntai said the sudden
invitation was designed to placate lawmakers. The delegation of lawmakers was led by the
speaker of the Taraba State Assembly, Haruna
Tsokwa. Our sources revealed that the legislators
met Mr. Suntai who was seated on a couch
struggling to speak some words to the delegates.
They disclosed that Mr. Suntai did not recognize any of the lawmakers. His speech was
characterized as garbled, confused and mostly
inaudible, according to one source. He added that,
at one point, the brain-injured governor managed
to say that one of them was his "big deputy." The
person he referred to then told Mr. Suntai that he was not his deputy. Our sources added that the bizarre meeting
convinced the assembly leadership that Mr. Suntai
was incapable of running the state. They
retreated to a meeting at the state assembly. The
meeting ended and the lawmakers left without
addressing the media, the promised to return to the chambers tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the cabal tied to Mr. Suntai that has
sought to maneuver the sick governor back in
office this evening carried out another charade
by swearing in some so-called "newly appointed"
government officials in the state. The alleged swearing-in took place at the governor's dining
room without any member of his executive
council or security chiefs in attendance. There
was no judicial officer in sight to administer the
oath Mr. Suntai was made to seat on one of the chairs
and at a point given a paper to read. A witness
said it was unclear what he tried to do with the
paper, at a point he spoke a few words in Hausa
but for the rest of the event his voice was
inaudible throughout the charade.
