“Brain-Damaged Governor Suntai Did Not Recognize Me” – Acting Governor


The acting governor of Taraba State, Garba Umar, has revealed that hospitalized Governor Danbaba Suntai did not recognize him when the two met over two days in Hanover, Germany.
The deputy governor recently made a two-day visit to the seriously injured Mr. Suntai who has been at a hospital in Hanover, Germany since escaping with grave injuries from a crashed plane he was piloting when it went down near the airport in Yola, capital of Adamawa State last October.
A source close to the acting governor, who travelled to Germany two weeks ago, said Mr. Umar disclosed that the injured governor did not speak a word to him throughout his stay in Germany.
Another source revealed that the acting governor also told the Presidency in Abuja that, on one occasion when he tried meeting with the governor, Mr. Suntai drooled saliva uncontrollably as he sat in a special chair.
The sources said that German medical consultants told the visiting acting governor that one of Mr. Suntai’s biggest medical issues is that fluids accumulate on one side of his brain, thereby impeding normal brain function. The German doctors indicated that the fluids have to be constantly drained or else Mr. Suntai would die.
