The acting governor of Taraba State
Garba Umar said a new cabinet would soon be constituted to
replace the former executive council which was dissolved
by Suntai shortly after he returned from the United
States. He said the governor would be consulted before it would be
made public.
Umar commended President
Goodluck Jonathan and the National Chairman of the PDP for assisting in the
resolution of the crisis.
He said, “First of all, let me assure
you that today(Tuesday), we have been able to tell ourselves the truth and we
have been able to resolve our differences and I am assuring you that today,
Taraba is one.
“Let me also say that all of us here
were witnesses to the fact that few days ago, there were insinuations here and
there and newspapers were carrying so many stories about Taraba State. In
fact, Taraba State became a household name in the country. But
today, we thank God that all our differences have been resolved and we
are all one.
“It was agreed that I will paddle the
affairs of the state until my principal is able to come back and resume duties
as our governor . It was also agreed that there must be some
kind of consultation with the governor.”
On the state executive council,
the acting governor said, “I am still in consultation with my boss and as
soon that is done, I will let you know about the constitution of the next
executive council.”
