Governor Suntai of Taraba State had been involved in a plane crash on October 25, 2012.
The controversy in Taraba State continued on Monday as the state governor,Danbaba Suntai, who returned to the country from the United States of America on Sunday after receiving treatment for injuries sustained in a plane crash in Yola, said on Monday that he is ready to resume his duties.
The governor stated this in a letter he sent to the state House of Assembly.
A top official of the state government who declined to be named confirmed that the letter was submitted to the Assembly on Monday.
A member of the Assembly also responded to a PREMIUM TIMES inquiry via sms confirming that Mr. Suntai had “transmitted a letter stating that he is ready to resume”.
Opinions remain divided over the state of health of the governor whose injuries reportedly affected his brain.
While some are of the school of thought that the governor is not fully fit to resume and that his return has political undertones, others say that the governor has regained his health enough to govern the state.
Since his return, Mr. Suntai has neither appeared before nor addressed the media. He also did not address the thousands of supporters who trooped out to both Abuja international airport and the Jalingo airport to welcome him; fuelling speculations about his true state of health.
