Taraba plans big for Suntai’s return

Nine months after a close shave with death, indications emerged on Wednesday that injured Taraba State Governor, Danbaba Suntai, was set to return to Jalingo, the state capital, to continue with his work.

Vanguard gathered from highly-placed family sources that Suntai, who had since been relocated from Germany to Washington for medical attention following an air crash, last October, had recovered considerably and could be released by his doctors any moment from now.

“We are very delighted by the level of recovery recorded by the governor and we can confirm that he will soon be back in Jalingo, a member of the Suntai family, told Vanguard in Abuja.

It was learnt that in preparation for the governor’s ‘triumphant return’ to the state, top government officials had paid for a special aircraft to bring back the governor to Nigeria.

The amount for the chartered flight, which the source declined to say, had already been paid for by the Taraba State Government.
