Taraba: Suntai May Be Flown in Next Week

History has a way of repeating itself as there are strong indications that what played out at the height of the illness of the late President Umaru Musa Yar`Adua when he was brought back from Saudi Arabia under the cover of darkness and kept at the State House, Abuja even in his dying state may soon repeat itself in Taraba State.

This is because plans are said to be underway to fly ailing Governor Danbaba Suntai into the country in the cover of darkness in a bid by his loyalists to retain the governorship.

A source hinted that the governor would soon be flown into the country and only trusted aides would be allowed to see him. The source said that the plan to bring him home was being conceived following the decision of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to set up a committee headed by Senator Hope Uzodimma to look into the prolonged absence of Suntai and recommend ways of addressing the problem

It is feared the committee may come up with a report that the governor is not fit and the Acting Governor Garba Umar be made substantive governor.

The two divas were having a good time on the dance floor, dirty dancing with their fellow Housemates when Selly dumped her drink on the Zimbabwean Housemate. Whether this was intentional or not still remains a mystery.
What is not a mystery though is Pokello’s reaction. The Zimbabwean was more than furious and you could tell by her facial expressions how angry she was. Elikem and Cleo stepped in to try to diffuse the situation and to also offer Pokello some tissues to dry herself.
Selly came over to whisper something in Pokello’s ear and unfortunately, the Zimbabwean was not having it. She quickly backed away and told her where to get off. Yikes
