Suntai: Acting Gov Reverses Cabinet Sack.........
 Taraba Acting Gov., Alhaji Garba Umar | Vanguard Abuja August 30, 2013 Meanwhile, buoyed by the support he is getting from majority of the members of the state House of Assembly, Taraba Acting Governor, Alhaji Garba Umar, yesterday, countered Governor Danbaba Suntai’s decision to dissolve the State Executive Council. Umar, issued a statement asking the people of the state to ignore the purported dissolution of the Exco by Suntai, pointing out that the action was masterminded by a cabal bent on hijacking the ‘administration of the day’. According to a statement by the Acting Governor’s Press Secretary, Sule Kefas, the claimed dissolution of the state Executive Council was illegal, null and void and of no effect. |
The governor said that the move was to prevent the looting of the state by unauthorised persons, who want to exploit the situation in the state for their selfish interest.
The statement said: “To this end, the bankers of the Taraba State Government are reminded to note that all financial instruments relating to the State Government’s accounts should be honoured only if they are in tandem with the provisions of the law, in which case, must contain:
Verifiable signature of the Executive Governor of Taraba State, his Excellency Governor Danbaba Suntai or verifiable signature of the Acting Governor of Taraba State, his Excellency, Alhaji Garba Umar, Acting for the Executive Governor.
“Members of the public are advised to disregard yesterday’s (Wednesday) announcement of the purported dissolution of the State Executive Council and the appointment of a new SSG as well as the Chief of Staff.
“The announcement is a mere attempt by a cabal to hijack the machinery of governance in the State and not a directive that was given by the Executive Governor, his Excellency Danbaba Suntai.
