The former governor of Adamawa State, Alhaji Boni Haruna, says that recuperating Governor of Taraba State, Danbaba Danfulani Suntai, is now fit to resume his constitutional duties as the executive governor.
He said the most important thing is that Suntai has capable hands around, including his deputy Alhaji Garba Umar, who can complement his efforts.
Haruna, accompanied by his wife, spent several hours with Suntai at the Government House, Jalingo on December 15, 2013, Sunday.
Haruna clad in an ash short-Safari suit while the governor wore a milky baban riga.
From the governor’s living room, the two kinsmen of the defunct Gongola state went to sit outside, in white rubber chairs.
Most of the discussions centred on the governor’s air crash and the political impasse in Taraba.
Present were their aides and journalists who later interviewed the former Adamawa governor.
Haruna warned politicians, particularly the Taraba State House of Assembly members to stop playing politics with Suntai’s health.
“Governor Suntai is fit to take charge now,” stated Haruna.
He further noted that the crisis in Taraba was the issue of “morality and the constitution.”
“It is not my intention to dabble into the affairs of Taraba, but as a leader I have a responsibility to do so.“The issue of health or ill-health is not in the control of anybody, it is with God and anybody could be involved in an accident.“The constitution does not give a time frame within which if you don’t recover, you should be removed from office. And in his case, Suntai has recovered”.
It would be recalled that the political crisis in Taraba State has erupted when Suntai returned from abroad after a 10-month medical treatment of injuries he sustained when an aircraft he piloted crashed near Yola, Adamawa state in October last year.
