The event was a swearing in for new cabinet members for the governor. The event happened at the dining room of Mr. Suntai at the Governor’s Lodge in Jalingo.
Suntai forcefully read a few minutes of speech broadcast on state TV. However, he was unstable and unclear.
In the address, Suntai commended the people of the state for their prayers and for standing by him in his moment of trial.
“I thank the people of Taraba State for standing by me and my family. I also thank the commissioners for holding the fort while I was away. Also enjoin all of you to continue to live in peace,” he said.
Suntai, who wore a sky blue suit and a stripe shirt, also congratulated the people on the 22nd anniversary of the state which was on August 27.
After the swearing in the speaker of the state assembly walked in to see Suntai but the ailing governor did not recognize him and others but the video was edited to look as though the speaker’s delegation was part of the swearing in ceremony.
Members of the cabal, propping up the ailing Governor to grab power, are listed as Sylvanus Giwa, Senator Emanuel Bwatcha, Haruna Manu, of the the house of representatives, state PDP chairman, Victor bala, Aminu Jika, who was sworn in as the new chief of staff and the new Secretary to the state government, GT Kataps.
