Recuperating Governor of Taraba State, Danbaba Danfulani Suntai caused an emotional scene when he stormed the Unity Chapel Church (UCC) in Government House, Jalingo for thanks giving at the weekend.
Suntai was pronounced dead when an aircraft he piloted crashed near Yola, the Adamawa State capital, on Thursday, October 25 last year.
The three aides who were treated in Germany were with the governor during the thanksgiving service. Also accompanying the governor were his wife Hauwa, the Secretary to the State Government (SSG) GT Kataps and Chief of Staff, Aminu Jika, among other aides.
Suntai’s thanksgiving ceremony came a few days after he went out for a fishing expedition to shake off officialdom.
The congregation was all tears on seeing him. The tears of joy followed the governor’s speech, which turned out to be the morning sermon for the worshipers.
“I thank God that I survived the air crash to see this day. I am happy to reunite with you again,” Suntai said.
He thanked Taraba residents for their prayers on him which he said have helped him.The governor preached forgiveness and asked everybody whom he said he may have offended to forgive him.
“Do not hold anything against your enemy or anyone at heart. For me and my family, we have forgiven all our adversaries,” he said..
Suntai said what God has done and shown him, even if he drops dead today (on Friday) he would die a fulfilled mortal.

We bless God. Being involved in a plane crash is not a matter to joke with. Ran into crisis before flying from Lagos to PH and it wasn't funny. Was too frightened to even open my mouth to pray. I just shut my eyes, prepared my mind and begged God in my heart at the same time. Other passengers screaming. It wasn't funny even after we landed. Abeg leave am. He has a second chance for a reason and I pray he uses it well. Amen
ReplyDeletei feel sorry for him...But come to think of it,he abandoned his Governor seat and went for a zigzag pilot training,finished halfway and decided to fly himself.How many Nigerians have the opportunity to be a governor and still go to aviation school.
ReplyDeleteFingers are nt equal. Everybody cannot av dsame opportunity! Any1 dat comes ur way, make good use of it! Everybody cannot be presidents or governors. Some are very rich, buh do not av peace of mind, some av peace of mind buh poor, some poor nd still do not av peace of mind, some are rich nd they still av peace of mind, doing wat they like. Buh @ d end of evrifin God will judje us personally. Dats life.
DeleteDose dat God has given 2nd chances shld be foreva grateful to God nd use d opportunity very well. May God continue to protect us all from all evils. God should help us to lead a honest nd truthful Life.
@ sweetie; all these your professional gbagauns can wake them people!!

ReplyDeleteTnk God for him but hope it teaches him a lesson that we r just mortal n gonna leave one day.so treat ur pple n needy good.
