MEDICAL TARABA State House of Assembly has set up a medical panel to verify the health condition of its ailing Governor, Danbaba Suntai who has been out of the country for treatment abroad.

There were rumors that Suntai was “rushed” back to the country because of the Peoples Democratic Party governorship primaries, after which he would return abroad for medical attention.
