However, unconfirmed sources suggest that his condition worsened, leading to his transfer to Egypt for intensive medical care.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, the state government has remained silent, fueling speculation and anxiety among citizens and political stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p>The lack of official communication regarding Alkali\u2019s health and whereabouts has drawn comparisons to the case of former Taraba Governor Danbaba Suntai, who suffered a plane crash in 2012. Despite being incapacitated, Suntai remained in office as a cabal took control of the state\u2019s affairs, preventing his deputy, Alhaji Garba Umar, from assuming full leadership until Suntai\u2019s eventual passing.<\/p>\n<p>Amid growing uncertainty, concerned citizens call on Governor Agbu Kefas to clarify the situation and provide updates on his deputy\u2019s condition. Due to his prolonged absence, many politicians reportedly lobby for Alkali\u2019s position, intensifying political manoeuvring within the state.<\/p>\n<p>Barrister Bilyaminu Maihanchi, a Jalingo-based human rights lawyer, has urged the Taraba State House of Assembly to invoke Section 189 of the Nigerian Constitution to address the issue. In an open letter, he emphasized the need for transparency and accountability, stating:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI urge the Taraba State Governor to explain the Deputy Governor\u2019s absence and take immediate action. The people of Taraba deserve to know the truth about their leaders and have confidence in the governance of their state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maihanchi also called on the House of Assembly to take its constitutional responsibilities seriously and ensure that the state\u2019s leadership remains functional.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Taraba State House of Assembly must investigate the circumstances surrounding the Deputy Governor\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2023\/05\/19\/we-dont-know-chibok-girls-whereabouts-military\/\">absence<\/a> and take appropriate steps to resolve the situation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Attempts to respond from Speaker John Kizito Bonzina have been unsuccessful, as he is reportedly out of the country. Similarly, Governor Kefas\u2019 Senior Assistant on Media and Digital Communications, Emmanuel Bello, declined to comment, stating that he would make inquiries before responding. However, further calls, text messages, and WhatsApp inquiries to Bello went unanswered at the time of filing this report.<\/p>\n<p>As concerns mount, citizens await official clarification on the deputy governor\u2019s status and the implications for Taraba\u2019s governance in the coming months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taraba Deputy Governor Aminu Alkali has been
