Politics › THE INSIDER: Drama In Taraba… Suntai Goes Missing And The Hunter Is Hunted Read by mbulela(op): 6:27pm On Sep 23, 2014
The unfolding story in Taraba state reads like a thriller: the governor survives a plane crash, loses his memory, is replaced in the interim by his deputy who then schemes to unseat him… and the deputy too is about to be unseated before his plan materialises. Meanwhile, Governor Danbaba Suntai, still recovering from the mishap and expected to face a medical panel, has gone “missing”, apparently to escape examination. Speaking to the BBC Hausa service on Monday, the acting governor of Taraba state, Alhaji Garba Umar, raised the alarm that the speaker of the house of assembly, Mr. Josiah Kente, was planning an impeachment against him. Suntai had been involved in an air mishap in October 2012 and has clearly not regained the medical fitness to return to office, having suffered a reported brain damage. But his associates are refusing to throw in the towel, creating the impression that Suntai is on the way to recovery and would soon return to office. Umar, meanwhile, is obviously aware that the governor is not likely to return to office again and has been plotting to take over substantively, sacking Suntai’s appointees and appointing his own loyalists to replace them as soon as he stepped in as acting governor in 2013. Umar’s game plan was very clear from day one. The state was politically fractured as tensions rose: it got so ridiculous that the state effectively has two persons holding the position of secretary to the state government (SSG) ─ Timothy Kataps, loyal to Suntai, and Garvey Yawe, loyal to Umar. MEDICAL PANEL After being snubbed at the Abuja airport last week when Suntai returned from a medical trip abroad, Umar got the state executive council to resolve that a medical panel be set up to ascertain the state of health of the governor ─ in accordance with the provisions of section 189 (b) and 189 (4) of the constitution. Kente promptly set up a panel headed by Bala Shehu. Other others: Ahmed Kara (Suntai’s personal physician, as required by law); Peter Alabi, Shehu Sule and Inusa Samaila. Umar must have smiled to himself that everything was going according to plan until he started hearing rumours that Kente also has his eyes on the governor’s seat. If the medical panel declares Suntai unfit, the house will have to impeach him. And, wait a minute… Umar may not become governor, after all. FINTIRI FORMULA Kente, TheCable learnt, is planning the Fintiri Formula ─ a replication of what the speaker of Adamawa house of assembly, Alhaji Ahmadu Fintiri, did when he got both the governor and the deputy out of the way in order to become acting governor. Vice Admiral Murtala Nyako was accused by the Adamawa lawmakers of corruption and gross misconduct and removed as governor, while his deputy, Mr. Bala Ngilari ─ who should ordinarily have taken over ─ was also impeached. Fintiri, as acting governor, is also the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the October 11 by-election, and there is yet no law barring him from running again in 2015 after completing Nyako’s tenure. Kente has taken his inspiration from Fintiri, and Umar ─ who was hunting his boss ─ is now being hunted. SUNTAI AWOL “I don’t even know what offence I committed that would warrant my impeachment,” Umar told the BBC, adding: “It is 22 months now that I have been acting as the governor. I have never thought of anything like impeachment. I have been obedient to my boss, yet people will always say he is coming back to take over power. That is why we are trying to ascertain his health condition and then inform the world.” But the drama promises to last longer. For the medical panel to reach a conclusion on the state of Suntai’s health, they must examine him. For them to examine him, they must have access to him. Umar… hunting and hunted “As I talk to you, nobody in the panel knows the whereabouts of Suntai,” a commissioner told TheCable, asking not to be named for political reasons. They actually know the whereabouts of Suntai ─ he is in Abuja, nestling at the home of former army chief, Gen. TY Danjuma, who is also from Taraba state. Danjuma is determined to frustrate the plan to impeach the governor. “Will the panel break into Danjuma’s fortified house to examine Suntai? No way,” a former aide to the governor told TheCable, while also expressing disappointment with Kente’s plan of double impeachment. Incidentally, Kente may also end up hunted as Umar is also said to be moving against him in the house. The acting governor is planning a fight back and is already in discussion with some of the Taraba lawmakers to checkmate Kente. Expect more drama in Taraba in the weeks ahead.

chucky234: Delta and Edo state has running water since the 60s in the Bendel state, any one around Benin, Abraka, Obiaruku, Eku and Akpor can confirm this. There is no single well in Obiaruku because they were one of the first places to have pipeborne water direct from Bendel water board and now DSWC.
Then I stand corrected.
Thanks for the info.

However, the public water supply in Lagos is very existent though not as good as it could be.

Their is public water supply in Lagos.
It is not everywhere but it is in a lot of places.
I have lived in two places in Lagos and one had both while the other had exclusively public water supply and the only day it failed it was back in less than 10 hrs.
So what exactly is your point?
I asked you to mention one other city in this country that has public water supply? I am still waiting.

The work at that airport is an eyesore.
In a country where things even pretend to work (not that it works),the woman and the contractor who was awarded that job will be defending themselves in the court of law and on their way to jail. I went to pee in the bathroom a week after the departure was declared open with fanfare and the urinals were leaking,the floor was flooded and two of the urinals were closed to the public as they were out of order.

Forwetinnah: @Kelechi Deca..,The Fear Of America Is Beginning Of Wisdom!

When I said recently that America is the chief architect of terror on earth today, some viewed me as shallow.
It is now very obvious that the United State of America and its allies are the reason why the Boko haram islamist insurgency have been unable to crush by the Jonathan govt.
America has notorious allies everywhere. And their main ally in Nigeria today is the Muslim North and APC party. The Northern islamist governors and Northern Elders forum.
Recently, 13 Northern governors swarmed America for a mission no one is yet to decipher today. Not long after their return and meetings with American govt officials, figures like Hillary Clinton, John Macain and others started making antagonistic gestures and remarks against Jonathan govt.
Barack Obama have severally resisted a visit to Nigeria in all his global tours. He showed openly that his govt and country is against Jonathan govt.
He has severally made passive remarks about helping Nigeria to combat Boko haram. When Obama was making war comments against global terror networks, he clearly avoided the mention of Boko haram.
Now it has been revealed that America has been putting a cog in the wheel of Nigeria's effort in buying arms and military equipments to fight Boko haram.
Military sources have revealed how America have refused all Nigeria's efforts to purchase weapons to fight Boko haram, and even went as far as preventing their allies like Israel and others from selling to Nigeria. Hence, the desperate method employed by the Nigerian govt to purchase the weapons from arm companies with raw cash in South Africa with the siezed $9.3m.
If you still blame Jonathan for the murderous Boko haram with these startling revelations, then you don't love yourself.
America, the islamist North and their APC party are the reason why Boko haram has continued to wax ever stronger.

andyanders: What does it take for a T/T through the Apex bank to the receiving bank for such an amount if it was an urgent issue?

How can a true and legit government explain to the world that by moving such cash without security by a chartered jet was the best option to make payment to an arms dealing company? Will they tell me that such a company does not have a bank account? The only thing here is for them to tell the zombie CBN governor to now start charging COT on ATM transactions.
They wanted to save on the cot that the sour looking CBN govt would have charged on the transaction,so they decided to move it in cash. You know it is public money and they have to make judicious use of it.

A govt that is so inept that it or its sympathizers get involved in such dubious fraudulent acts is of all inept govt,most miserable.
I have long advocated for our armed forces to be outsourced. This proves my argument. If the security chiefs made the sort of comments the article adduced then they should be summarily dismissed and without benefit. Since when did arms purchase become so pedestrian?
How come no one catches BH when they purchase theirs but the govt is caught pants down when it goes arms shopping?

Who are the ones clamouring for inclusion of Boko haram in the list of terrorists and who on the other hand fought tooth and nail to prevent such?
I see your point.
However neither of these hustlers can be trusted. Irrespective of their ethnicity (which counts for nothing amongst hustlers).

Goddex: [size=13pt] 1) Tell Okorocha to play his cards well. He should lobby like other governors do. He knows the way to the Minister of works and the National Assembly

2) The man needs to keep his polluted asss in Owerri and govern Imo. But nooo, he enjoys hosting APC rallies or attending APC meetings in other states.

Of what use was that birthday celeberation he organised recently for the national chairman of APC to Imolites?

3) By the way, has he finished constructing states roads in Imo?

3) GEJ completed the Onitsha - Owerri road and that road remains among the best in Nigeria today.

4) Many other roads have either been completed or being worked on in South East. I passed through the several kms Enugu - Abakaliki - Cameroon international expressway recently and it was such a wonder to behold.

5) Nigeria is a very large country with so many interstate highways requiring attention. A chunk of the resources that should be put on developing our infrastructure is spent fighting Boko Haram. Federal Ministry of Works budget for 2014 was a paltry 135b naira.

7) Those roads you mentioned will definitely be taken care of in future budgeting. Keep calm and trust GEJ.[/size]
Your daftness is incurable.
So we need to lobby this daft fellow before he does his job? Do you lobby your boss to pay your salary after working for the month?
Do you realize that this road was already in the said state before boko Haram menace?
