The Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, has described as an incalculable loss to the nation, the death of the former Governor of Taraba State, Mr. Danbaba Suntai.
Mr. Suntai, aged 55, passed on, at a London hospital, on Wednesday afternoon, having been bed ridden since he survived a plane crash in 2012.
Reacting to the news of the death of the former governor, Senator Ekweremadu said, Suntai gave a good account of himself as a politician, public administrator and party man.
He said: “This is an incalculable loss, not only to the people of Taraba State, but also to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) family, and the nation in general. We had all prayed for his full recovery following the air mishap of October 2012.
“This is a very sad news, for he was a leader that loved his people, for he gave a good account of himself as a politician, public administrator, man of peace, patriot, party man, and nation builder. He will be sorely missed, but like all great men, he is immortalised by his selfless service to God and humanity”.
Ekweremadu condoled with the family of the late politician, Government and good people of Taraba State as well as the entire nation.
He also prayed for the peaceful repose of the soul of the deceased.
