The Taraba State House of Assembly has set up a medical panel to verify the health condition of its ailing Governor, Danbaba Suntai who has been out of the country for treatment abroad.
A statement issued on Saturday by the Speaker of Taraba State House of Assembly, Mr. Josiah Sabo Kente, obtained by journalists in Abuja named Prof. Bala Shehu as chairman.
Other members are Dr. Inusa Samaila, Prof. Peter Alabi, Dr. Shehu Sule and Personal Physician to Suntai, Dr. Ahmed Kara.
“Consequent upon the receipt of the resolution of the Taraba State Executive Council meeting on September 10 2014, evoking the provision of Section 189 (1) b and 189 (4) of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) which requested me to appoint a medical panel to verify the health condition of the Executive Governor of Taraba State, Pharm. Danbaba Danfulani Suntai, I hereby constitute the medical panel..,” it said.
He returned from the United Kingdom after weeks of further treatment of the injuries he sustained when his plane crashed near Yola, Adamawa state on August 25, 2012.
Since he came back to the country a fortnight ago, Suntai is said to be resting at the Guest House of Gen. T.Y. Danjuma (rtd) located at Maitama District, Abuja, where the guest house has virtually turned to tourist destination for political jobbers and associates.
