A move by the Taraba state government to send the ailing governor of the state, Danbaba Suntai overseas for further medical treatment has suffered setback against the backdrop that the travelling passport of the governor was reportedly in possession of two of his top associates who have refused to release it.
The wife of the governor had agreed for further medical treatment for her husband, but Suntai’s associates were said to have held on to the passport even after what the source described as repeated requests from the family.
According to an unnamed source, the development was said to have created a sharp division between the family of the governor and his associates who were quoted as telling the governor’s family that further treatment abroad for the governor would undermine the larger political agenda which the governor’s group were at the moment pressing for.
Also, VANGUARD has reported that plans were underway to impeach both the ailing governor and the acting governor, Garba Umar, to pave way for the Speaker of the State Assembly to preside over the conduct of the 2015 election.
It was gathered that the said associates were provoked by the cordial relationship between the governors’s family and acting governor and were plotting to impeach both Suntai and Umar, the acting governor. Sources disclosed that the plan was to make the speaker an interim governor to install a governor from the Southern zone of the state in 2015.
