Taraba Acting Governor, Alhaji Garba Umar, said
his major challenge in 2013 was the ‘cabal,’ that
tried to hijack governance by using the name of
Gov. Danbaba Suntai.
Umar said this in Jalingo on Wednesday during an
interaction with journalists.
He, however, assured the people of the state that
the government had almost overcome the problem
of the ‘cabal’ having succeeded in forming the
executive council.
“Our major challenge in 2013 was the cabal which
tried to hijack the machinery of governance using
the name of Suntai.
“I can assure the people of the state that I will not
fold my hands and allow any individual or group to
hijack the state.
“We have now appointed commissioners and
formed EXCO and set for a better 2014,” he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that
Suntai returned to Nigeria on Aug. 25, 2013 after 10
months of medical treatment abroad after a plane
crash in Yola.
Umar defended the state government’s inability to
pay former Gov. Jolly Nyame his severance
allowances.
He said the former governor failed to send a bill to
the state assembly to pass a law enabling the state
to pay former governors in all the 10 years he was
at the helm of affairs as chief executive.
“I have sent a bill to the state assembly to make a
law allowing the state to pay former governors their
entitlements and the law makers are yet to
complete work on the document.
“Nyame failed to do that during his time, but I have
played my part, remaining that of the assembly,” he
said. (NAN)
