A powerful cabal in Taraba that has now formed around brain-damaged governor of Taraba, Danbaba Suntai to hijack power first by bringing to Nigeria.
Today they continued the second leg of their political stunts in Jalingo, the state capital on Sunday afternoon by staging another fake triumphant arrival for the ailing governor.
Mr. Suntai arrived the state capital around 3:45 PM aboard a private jet chartered by the state government. Before his arrival the airport had been agog with rented crowds sourced from several local government in the state.
However, soon as his aircraft taxied to a halt state officials including the acting governor, Umar Garba were shoved aside by his supporters led by his wife, Hauwa.
Mr. Suntai supporters formed a human shield around him and took him into a maroon colored Range Rover and drove away from the airport to the governor's lodge.
Contrary to protocol and well advertised announcement in the state media that the ailing governor would speak to his supporters, Mr. Suntai who looked confused, did not utter a word.
Mr. Suntai arrived from the US today after 10 months of absence. He was first flown to Germany to receive medical treatment for injuries sustained while piloting a small plane that crashed near the Yola airport in October 2012.
Medical sources have repeatedly told Saharareporters that the governor is brain damaged, and cannot function in any official capacity again except a miracle happens.
Minister of State for the Niger Delta ministry, Dairus, Emmanuel Bwacha representing Taraba south in the senate, Damian Dodo SAN, and John Dara accompanied the governor to Jalingo.
Soon after Mr. Suntai arrived the governor's lodge, security chiefs in the state including the commissioner of police and the director of the State Security Services visited him but his wife turned them away claiming that doctors asked him to observe bed rest for 72 hours non-stop.
