“I can’t be acting governor while my boss is alive” – Taraba deputy governor

Taraba state deputy governor, Alhaji Garba Umar, yesterday, said he had not been sworn-in as acting governor as he remained the deputy governor.

Umar, who stated this at Government House, Jalingo while answering questions from journalists, said Suntai was responding to treatment.

“I remain the deputy governor of Taraba State. I am not acting. I can’t be sworn-in as acting governor because my boss is still alive”.  

You will all recall that the State governor was involved in a plan crash last week, and has been flown to Germany for treatment.
