Jalingo— Barely a day after returning to a tumultuous welcome in Jalingo, Taraba State capital, Governor Danbaba Suntai has transmitted a letter of fitness and intention to resume work to the state House of Assembly.
Vanguard learnt that although the transmission of the letter was not deliberated upon yesterday, it has been handed over to the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Mr. Haruna Tsokwa, who is expected to present it to the plenary this week.
Sources said it was in connection with the content of the letter that the Acting Governor, Garba Umar, met for several hours with the Speaker and the state Police Commissioner, Jubrin Adeneji, in his office yesterday.
It was learnt that the three men, who had been holding sway while Suntai was away for prolonged treatment, met to discuss the modalities for a seamless handing over to Suntai.
Although Tsokwa refused to discuss the letter, a member of Suntai’s cabinet confirmed that the letter had been sent to the House of Assembly.
The member, who pleaded anonymity, said the letter was to inform the members that the governor was back and ready to resume in his office.
The cabinet member did not, however, say when the governor would resume work.
