The Peoples Democratic Party has said it
is saddened by the long absence of the Governor of Enugu, Mr. Sullivan
Chime, and his Taraba State counterpart, Mr. Danbaba Suntai, from their
duty posts due to ill health.
But despite their long absence, the party
said it was happy with the way the leaderships of the party in the two
states had carried on government activities without any rancour.
A statement signed by the National
Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh in Abuja on Monday,
also commended the acting governors, party chairmen, Speakers of the
Houses of Assembly, state caucus members, members of the National
Assembly from the states as well as government appointees in the states
for holding forth and ensuring smooth running of government affairs in
the absence of their governors.
Metuh, in the statement, said the fact
that government activities were going on smoothly in these states showed
that PDP governments “have direction and focus in line with the
manifesto of the party to ensure the welfare of the people at all
times.”
He said, “We want to commend our party
leadership and government officials in Enugu and Taraba states, the
acting governors, the Speakers of the Houses of Assembly and other state
caucus members and government appointees in these states for holding
forth in the absence of Governor Sullivan Chime of Enugu State and
Governor Danbaba Suntai of Taraba state, who are out of the country for
medical attention.
“The fact that government activities are
going on smoothly without altercations shows that the PDP governments in
these states, and indeed across the country have direction and focus,
which is to ensure the welfare of the people in line with our
manifesto.”
He said that the party was deeply
saddened by the fact that the governors had been away for health reasons
Metuh also thanked the people of the two states for their steadfastness
in praying for them adding that with prayers, they would soon return to
work.
