•We’ve seen God at work, says Acting governor
Ailing Taraba State Governor, DanbabaSuntai, will today celebrate his
52nd birthday in the Sea View Hospital Rehabilitation Centre and Home,
New York United States of America, where he is recuperating.
Suntai had wanted to return home to celebrate the milestone but
doctors advised he waits until he gets a “complete recovery”, it was
learnt.
He has been receiving physiotherapy/treatment in the US upon leaving the German hospital in Hannover in March.
Benue State Governor Gabriel Suswam, who visited Suntai in New York
and returned at the weekend, said Suntai received him well and spoke on
phone with President Goodluck Jonathan and Vice President Namadi Sambo.
Taraba Acting Governor, Alhaji Garba Umar, also said the hand of God is sheltering his boss.
“We have seen the hand of God at work in your life,” Umar said yesterday in his goodwill message.
According to him: “On this day, we once again have the opportunity to
celebrate the grace, love, blessings, mercy, and kindness of Almighty
God upon our leader, mentor, friend, brother and boss, His Excellency
DanbabaSuntai, CON, as he clocks 52 years.
“Though you are marking the event in far- away United States of
America, where you are recovering from the injuries you sustained in the
air mishap of October 25 last year, we join you in appreciating God for
what He is doing in your life.
“We do so with an abiding faith in the Creator, that He will bless
you (Suntai) with many more years of active and meritorious service to
our state, the nation and humanity.
“We wish you a happy birthday anniversary and many returns.”
Senator Emmanuel Bwacha(Taraba South), who also visited Suntai in New
York and returned at the weekend, told The Nation that the birthday
celebration will be more of thanksgiving and praises to the Lord.
“This is his biggest testimony for the governor. His state (Taraba)
and the country are joining him to thank God for his merciful wonders in
his life,” he stated.
Suntai’s children, family relatives and friends, including a few
leaders from the country, will join him in New York for the celebration.
His eldest daughter, Miss MariyaSuntai, who bagged her private
license as a student pilot from an aviation school in Florida, will also
join in the thanksgiving.
