I didn’t declare Suntai missing – Taraba Acting Governor

by Isi Esene

The Taraba Acting Governor, Garba Umar has denied reports claiming he declared ailing Governor, Danbaba Suntai missing.

Umar who released a statement through his spokesman, Kefas Sule, explained that he simply told reporters that he was yet to set eyes on the governor since his return from his medical trip abroad.

The statement read in part: “The attention of the acting governor has been drawn to the screaming news headlines purporting that he has declared Suntai missing.

“Umar hereby places on record that at no time did he declare his boss missing, he simply said he was yet to see him since he returned from medical trip to London.”

He said it was disheartening to see a section of the media carrying the story with a barrage of misleading headlines.

“It is disheartening to later see a barrage of misleading headlines in the media said to have been egged on by a subjective interpretation by one of the national dailies,” the statement added.

It quoted Umar as urging media practitioners to uphold the ethics of the profession which emphasised accuracy, objectivity, fairness and balance at all time.
