A legal practitioner Abbas Ajiya has said that the governor of Taraba state, Danbaba Suntai is still not capable of discharging the functions of the office of the governor.
Speaking on Channels Television breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily, Mr. Ajiya explained that the governor is unable to talk properly and is not aware of his immediate environment, adding that the governor is “recuperating”
Mr. Ajiya stated that the medical record of the governor of the state should be checked to know if he is fit to perform his duties as the governor of the state “based on what is physically seen, the suspicion is that the governor is not allright”.
He suggested that a medical panel should be constituted to examine the governor and his medical record; and added that Mr.Suntai has requested his deputy to carry out the research but to no avail.
Mr. Ajiya mentioned that some citizens of the state have approached the deputy governor to hold a meeting to declare the governor incapacitated and supported by members of the Taraba state Executive Council.
A letter will be transmitted to the speaker of the House of Assembly, to enable the setting up a medical panel that will do a thorough investigation of the true situation of the governor.
Mr. Ajiya stated that some of them went to the Federal High Court Abuja on the matter and was later transferred to the Taraba division of the Federal High Court, adding that the matter is still pending.
