In what many would describe as ‘Miracle of
Suhem’, ailing Taraba State Governor,
Dambaba Suntai miraculously turned fisherman
over the weekend.
An indication that the Governor’s health
appears to have improved significantly
emerged yesterday as he entered a red Range
Rover Sports HSC, which conveyed him to the
fish farm without help.
The Governor, alongside his wife, Hauwa; their
twin children, his younger brother, Babangida
Suntai; Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on
Media and Publicity, Mr. Sylvanus Giwa, and
Chief Press Secretary, Alhaji Hassan
Mijinyawa stormed a fish pond located near
the School of Nursing at Jalingo Bye-pass in
the state capital to have some good time.
However, his over one hour outing, yielded no
catch as he toiled in vain.
The governor jokingly said the fish cheated on
him.
“Kifi sun chuche ni, dun sun riga su chi abinchi,”
he said in Hausa, meaning: “the fish cheated on
me because they are already fed.”
It was learnt that on arrival at the pond, the
embattled governor asked the farm manager
to give him the fish feeds, which he threw into
the pond for the fish to show up.
The farm manager also brought him a hook and
line and an earthworm, which he used as bait.
However, fish refused to go for the bait, a
drama which sent the small audience into
laughter.
His wife, Hauwa occasionally teased her
husband about his inability to make a catch.
At a point, the wife herself almost fell into
the pond after slipping at the edge of the pond
and the husband told her, “If you fall into the
water I will fish you out.”
The Governor’s failed effort made one of the
security men laugh with Suntai, telling him to
return home if he could not be quiet.
“Noise scares fish,” he said.
Suntai left the pond with a promise to return
in a few days, this time to catch as many of
the fish as possible.
