Playing politics with Suntai’s health is a mockery of our democracy –Abubakar Tsav
A former Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Alhaji Abubakar Tsav has described the ongoing political logjam in Taraba as a sad development and a ridicule of Nigeria’s democracy. Tsav, in an interview with NigerianEcho said the Taraba development shows that the Peoples’ Democratic Party is on the verge of disintegration
“The ongoing drama in Taraba state is a sad development and a mockery of our democracy. It is visibly clear that Governor Danbaba Suntai is mentally sick from brain damage. Anyone with such medical condition can hardly perform duties requiring brain work; the functions of a governor require brain and concentration. Suntai looks physically and mentally unstable to perform the duties requiring thinking and concentration” Tsav said.
According to Tsav, the Taraba problem is not a domestic issue rather a national problem which the PDP is allowing to fester for too long. “Unfortunately, the PDP is silent over the drama. The party has problems with arithmetic like in the case of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum election where 16 is said to be higher than 19 and also the Rivers State anti Amaechi legislators. “The PDP seems to be asleep. Perhaps they will wake up to declare that 16 of the 24 Taraba legislators are wrong, it is sad and a mockery of our democracy.”
Tsav blasted Suntai’s close associates for their role and apparent complicity in the drama.
”Instead of allowing him to properly recover from illness, a group led by his wife is anxious that he resumes his duty as governor. They do not care if he is fit or not, they even seem to be introducing religious bigotry into the drama.
