Governor Suntai flown to Germany for more medical attention

The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Taraba State, Hassan Mijinyawa confirmed to DailyPost correspondent in Jalingo that Governor Danbaba Suntai has been flown to Germany in an air ambulance for medical attention at about 3.05 p.m on Saturday.
It would be recalled that President Goodluck Jonathan had on Friday visited Mr. Suntai at the intensive care unit of the National Hospital, Abuja, telling journalists afterwards that the governor was in a stable condition, assuring that he had instructed the Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Prof. Bello Bala Shehu, to give the governor adequate care

for quick recovery. Prof. Shehu also confirmed that Mr. Suntai was in a stable condition. He said the hospital staff were attending to first degree injury sustained by the governor in the crash. Mr. Shehu also said that the injury would not necessitate them to carry out any major operation on the governor.

However, Deputy Governor, Garba Umar, in a statement, praised God and appealed to Nigerians to continue praying for the quick recovery of the Governor and his aides.

He said,“We are grateful to God Almighty that in spite of the impact of the crash, Gov. Suntai and his three aides survived and are in a stable condition. “I call on the good people of the state to pray for the speedy recovery of our dear governor and his affected aides.”
“While we thank God for his wonderful miracle, we remain committed to the protection of lives and property of our citizens.
“We will, therefore, view with grave concern any attempt to breach the peace and security of our state,” he concluded.

DailyPost reported that Governor Danbaba Suntai and five other were involved in a plane crash piloted by the Governor on Thursday but authorities seem to have concentrated all attention on the Governor alone as the fate of the other survivors of the crash are yet unknown. The question many troubling Nigerians can’t stop asking is what exactly happened to the other 5 officials who were with the Governor in the Plane?
