A legal practitioner, Jiti Ogunye has said that it is not impossible for traitors to wish the Taraba state governor, Danbaba Suntai dead so as to have their turn at the state treasury.
He said this during an interview with Channels Television’s judiciary correspondent, Shola Shoyele on Law Weekly, adding that “it’s apparent that Governor Suntai, from what we’ve seen, is not fit to resume the functions of the office of Governor” as evidenced by his inability to alight from the plane without help.
Although the governor’s close aides have insisted that Suntai is healthy, “we don’t need a soothsayer to tell us that he is not fit” he said.
He maintained that a medical examination is the appropriate determinant of one’s health as “you may be outwardly fit but the true determinant of the state of your health is a medical examination”.
Although he advised that the governor recuperate properly, he warned that there could be “opportunistic interventions” in the situation as traitors would want to switch allegiance or even “wish him dead”.
However, he cautioned that “we have to focus on the rule of law.”
