Gov Suntai speaks briefly on videotape •Tape played on Taraba television • Cabinet dissolved, lawmakers meet gov The Punch • The Taraba State Governor, Mr. Danbaba Suntai, finally addressed the people on Wednesday, exactly four days after his return from a 10-month medical sojourn abroad. The brief address was however not live but through a video shown on the state-owned television station in Jalingo. His failure to do so earlier and appear before the state House Assembly to formally intimate its members of his desire to resume work had created suspicions that he was incapable of continuing to function as the state governor. Before the video was broadcast, he met with the lawmakers and inaugurated the newly appointed Secretary to the State Government, Timothy Kataps, as well as the Chief of Staff, Mallam Aminu Jika. The governor, who is recuperating from injuries he sustained last October when a small aircraft he flew crashed, had earlier dissolved the state Executive Council, leaving only his special assistants.
