The raging political crises in
Taraba seems going unabated as the state Governor Mr Suntai has dissolved the
state executive council and all other political appointees. This is even as the
house of assembly has been polarized into pro and anti Suntai camps with the
speaker leading the former whilst the leader of the house is heading the latter
group.
The opponents to the governor
maintain that he is incapacitated and thus unfit to rule the state with a
challenge to him to address the people of he state if otherwise. On the
contrary, his supporters insists that the Governor has taken over the governance
of the state haven sent a letter to the assembly intimating them about his
return into the country and readiness to assume his duties. This problem is reminiscent of the
former President Umar Musa Yar’adua sickness and the political imbroglio that generated before the famous ‘doctrine of necessity’ by the national assembly
which paved the way for the then Acting President Goodluck Jonathan to fully
assume the mantle of Leadership of the country. This came after much pressure
and protest by the various civil society groups who felt that a cabal had
hijacked the governance of the country under the guise that Yar’Adua was hale
and hearty.
