Ailing Governor Suntai’s Family Says Not In Touch With Hospitalized Governor
Danbaba Suntai
By SaharaReporters, New York
Barely one week after Taraba State Commissioner of Information and Tourism, Mr. Emmanuel Bello, claimed that Governor Danbaba Danfulani Suntai was recovering from his head injuries and conversing, the governor’s immediate family has confirmed SaharaReporters reports that all is not as it is being presented by lying government officials.
The governor’s uncle and spokesperson of the family, Alhaji Sule Sutain told a Nigerian national daily Blueprint, that they have been sidelined completely by both Taraba and Federal governments, an indication that Suntai’s health condition is not truly the picture being painted.
The family also accused the Acting Governor, Alhaji Garba Umar, of personally abandoning them.
Below is the full report:
The family of the ailing governor of Taraba state, Mr Danbaba Danfulani Suntai, have raised an alarm that the state and the federal governments have side-lined them in the handling of their son’s health crisis.
The spokesman of the family, who is an aged uncle of the governor, Alhaji Sule M. Suntai, disclosed this to Blueprint in his house in Suntai village, saying they are kept in the dark about the whole matter, as no government is briefing them on developments regarding the governor’s health.
Governor Suntai was piloting a small Cessna Grand Caravan C208 aeroplane on October 25, 2012 when it crashed in the bush eight nautical miles from the Yola airport in Adamawa state, critically injuring him and five of his aides.
Suntai was flown to Germany for medical treatment after spending two days at the National Hospital, Abuja.
He has been staying there ever since, with speculations being made about the seriousness of his health condition.
Suntai’s deputy was sworn in as acting governor a few days after the incident.
According to Suntai’s uncle, since their relation’s plane crash, no official of government at any level has deemed it fit to inform them officially about the incident or his state of health so far.
He, however, commended Senator Emmanuel Bwacha for being the only person from government that visited the family, albeit not as a government official but as his friend, and promised them that he was going to travel abroad to visit their ailing son.
Alhaji Sule also lamented that even the governor’s loyalists who used to flood their house with gifts have since turned their back on them.
He described the attitude of the acting governor of the state, Alhaji Garba Umar, towards the family as more shocking. According to him, Umar never thought he would be in government but their son gave him the privilege, “but just like every other person he also turned his back on us.”
When our correspondent visited Suntai village, most projects sited in the village were at a standstill. As a result, the usual booming of businesses in the area has become a thing of the past.”

Hey dump head, Suntai is your brother he has nothing to do with Islam and it's holy prophet. As far as Islam is concern, we say good riddance to bad rubbish. May he rot in hell where he belongs.

Gifts have wings! They have since flown to the direction of the acting Governor who might have been receiving far less in the era of his boss. Nigerians give instrumental gifts. Suntai is no longer relevant, what are they paying him "gifts" for?

They are giving him accelerated discharge from office. They will soon be told to request for their son as a way of releasing him to them and relieving him from office. He appears close to discharge from governance. The family should read the very bold hand writing.

Let us follow the constitution and for the first time do something right. if this guy is sure dead we will workout his benefit if there is any left and give his relatives and friends. If he is alive let us see him, we will transfer him to one of his hospital if there is any, i cannot remember him commissioning a single hospital in his long lucrative regime with the highest subvention, diversion of local govt money, excess crude, a very lucky man, building three airports for one plane never remembering to build a hospital for when u decide to land on tree

NEMESIS. LESSONS OF TREACHERY

AH' NEMESIS. why should alhaji complain of abandonment,@ this stage. where were there when their son danbaba abandoned jolly nyame. wishing the man jail, praying the man turn a beggar.making mockery of nyame. forgetting all that GOD used the man to do for him.alhaji nyame pardoned danbaba suntai when he was indicted for fertilizer theft.not minding his been in the opposition party. brought him to his govt, made him commissioner, S.S.G. eventually the governor. how did he pay him back eventually.NEMESIS my brother.I believe at this stage, what the suntai family should concern themselves with is the recovery of their son and not stir controversy.after-all the acting governor can't do much since the state account is in red. Treachery

Someone should tell the Suntais that The fire is out!
Submitted by Ojomaje Ijato (not verified) on December 13, 2012 - 08:42.
As a popular Igala proverb goes, once the fire is out, nobody keeps company with ashes. The Suntais should have known that people were flocking their village and homes because they were warming themselves with the fire provided by the 'flying' governor. Now that the fire is dimming and almost out, they have gone to Umar, the new man with the fire. Na so life be!

I sympathize with the family, but they should not blame the Ag. Governor since he is also not aware of the true state of the Governor's Health.
Emmanuael Bello: Is it true that you abandon the Governor's family? what a shame! if Mr. Suntai were to be normal, would you have abandon his beloved family?

Na today...? the viciousness of Nigerian politics. Wait and see what happens to GEJ's family should anything happen to him right now.
If that Deputy governor is the one hospitalized, Suntai would probably treat his family the same way, as long as party interest is at stake.
Sycophancy is traditional in Nigerian politics.

Arewa Nigeria is a hopeless place. Any creature can rule. Sometimes headless people rule, and at other times ghosts rule. How can they continue to refer this brain dead man as governor? Doesn't he need his brain to govern? This is how late Musa Yar'Adua governed Nigeria from a morgue in Arabia for almost one donkey year before they brought his body back.
I guess all this fraud is done to steal our oil money. When we cut off the oil money from them to make them work for their living, then they will come to their senses.
One Nigeria, yeah, one Nigeria because of oil.
