Gov. Suntai arrives Nigeria after 10 months of medical treatment
abroad
Abuja- Governor Danbaba Suntai of Taraba on Sunday arrived in
Abuja after 10 months of medical treatment abroad after being
involved in a plane crash on Oct. 25, 2012.
Suntai arrived at the old wing of the Nnamdi Azikwe International
Airport, Abuja, aided to alight from the aircraft at about 1.10 p.m.
and immediately proceeded to Jalingo.
Suntai, alongside some of his aides, was involved in a plane
crash he piloted in Yola. Suntai did not talk to newsmen but one
of his associates, John Dara, said that the governor was mentally
alert as against speculations that he had lost his memory.
“We were excited to see him and it is understandable that after
the long trip, he was weak and tired.
“But, we were thrilled by the fact that he recognized everyone by
name which shows that he is mentally alert and lucid,’’ Dara
said.
He noted that the governor’s mental alertness indicated that he
was capable of taking over the affairs of the state.
“That itself is a clear indication that he is capable of running the
affairs of Taraba as the governor.
“We had no doubt in our minds that when he gets back to
Jalingo today, it will be up to his doctor to say whether he will
resume today or in a couple of days to come.
“But he is clearly okay and able to function,’’ Dara said.
