Gov. Suntai sacks all commissioners in surprise cabinet dissolution

Posted by admin Headlines, State News, Taraba Wednesday, August 28th, 2013

The ailing Gov. Danbaba Suntai of Taraba State, north east
Nigeria has dissolved the executive cabinet of the state
even as controversy continues to trail his state of health.

The sack affected all commissioners and Special Advisers,
while only Senior Special Assistants retain their jobs.

Gov. Suntai’s Media aide Sylvanus Giwa made the
announcement today at the government in Jalingo.

A former Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice in
the state, Timothy Katap was immediately named as the new
Secretary to State Government, SSG while Aminu Jika is the
new Chief of Staff.

Recall that the state house of assembly only yesterday
requested the governor to prove his state of health after he
sent a letter to the lawmakers saying he is ready to resume
work.

Mr Suntai was flown to Germany and was later transferred to
the United States to receive medical treatments following
injuries he sustained in a plane crash that almost took his life
