The Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to ailing Governor Danbaba Suntai of Taraba State, Silvanus Giwa, on Tuesday dispelled rumours that his boss had gone blind as a result of injuries sustained in a self-piloted aircraft last year.
He warned those peddling the story to desist and gave the real update:
Giwa said such unfounded rumour is capable of creating confusion in the minds of the people and urged Tarabans to ignore it.
“When our governor called me last Sunday during his 52 years birthday anniversary, he asked me to tell Tarabans that God has really answered their collective prayers. He said I should tell them that he has fully recovered and that he can now walk round and do certain things on his own without the support of anybody”, he said.
Mr. Giwa added that the acting governor, Alhaji Garba Umar, who only just returned from a trip to the US recently where he met the governor, confirmed that there was significant improvement in Suntai’s health condition compared to when he visited him in Germany.
