Mr Josiah Kente, the Speaker of the Taraba House of Assembly, has set up a five-man medical panel to verify the health status of Governor Danbaba Suntai.
This was contained in a statement he signed and made available to journalists in Jalingo on Saturday.
Kente said the action followed the resolution of the State Executive Council meeting of 10 September.
He said he evoked the provisions of section 189 (b) and 189 (4) of the 1999 Constitution as amended, requesting him to constitute such a medical panel.

“I have set up the medical panel in line with the resolution of the state executive meeting of Sept. 10 which requested me to do so,” he said.
NAN reports that the panel has Prof. Bala Shehu as Chairman. Other members are the personal physician of Suntai, Dr Ahmed Kara, Prof. Peter Alabi, Dr Shehu Sule and Dr Inusa Samaila.
The statement also said the panel would soon be inaugurated.
Suntai had survived a plane crash on Oct. 25, 2012 and had returned to the state after receiving treatment in Germany and the United States.
He was later flown to London for further treatment and only recently returned to the country.
