Danbaba suntai writes states assembly to resume office

According to Vanguard News, Governor Danbana Suntai of Taraba State has transmitted a letter of fitness and intention to resume work. The letter was sent to the Taraba State house of Assembly today, barely one day after Suntai’s return to the state. The letter is yet to be deliberated, it has been handed over to the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, who is expected to present it to the plenary this week. Danbaba Suntai above all looks far off, he seems to be far from reality by the looks in his face Suntai did not also talk to newsmen but one of his associates, John Dara, said that the governor was mentally alert as against speculations that he had lost his memory. “We were excited to see him and it is understandable that after the long trip, he was weak and tired. But, we were thrilled by the fact that he recognised everyone by name which shows that he is mentally alert and lucid,’’ Dara said. He noted that the governor’s mental alertness indicated that he was capable of taking over the affairs of the state. “That itself is a clear indication that he is capable of running the affairs of Taraba as the governor. We had no doubt in our minds that when he gets back to Jalingo today, it will be up to his doctor to say whether he will resume today or in a couple of days to come. “But he is clearly okay and able to function,’’ Dara said. He said that the governor’s decision not to talk to newsmen might be because of the long journey. “Talking to newsmen can be spontaneous and organised. So, we felt that when he has rested well, it will be easier for him to address Nigerians,’’ Dara said. Another close associate of Suntai, Rima Shamulu, said the decision to take over the ruling of the state lies with him, in line with the provisions of the constitution. “There are provisions in the constitution for you to take over or not to. “And if he gets back to Jalingo today, and he transmits a letter to the state assembly through the speaker that he has arrived, that is all; he can take over as the governor. “So, I don’t know why there are speculations around because there is constitutional provision when someone becomes too sick to function; it is not for us to speculate. “And with the way I saw him, he is alright,’’ Shamulu said. Suntai was transferred from hospital in Yola to the National Hospital, Abuja, on October 26, 2012, preparatory to his being flown to Germany for further medical treatment. About one hour after the governor was admitted into the intensive care unit of the hospital, President Goodluck Jonathan visited him. The president confirmed then that Suntai’s condition was stable and urged Nigerians to thank God for sparing the governor’s life. From Germany, Suntai was flown to the John Hopkins Hospital in the United States. Now he has come back, as a governor and leader of the state, he is expected and a must that he should address the people of the state or the state assembly. If he is unable to stand or weak in body but if his mind is sound, then we all will know that he is fit to rule the state. As a matter of principle if he is of unsound mind then he should quit.

Baby George Alexander Louis by Prince William and Kate Middleton

Prince William and Kate Middleton have named the royal heir George Alexander Louis, Kensington Palace announced in a statement today. "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to announce that they have named their son George Alexander Louis," the palace said. The baby's official title is His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge. The baby boy was born Monday at 4:24 p.m. London time. He weighed 8 pounds, 6 ounces, according to an official announcement from Kensington Palace four hours after the birth. Prince George Alexander Louis: What Does it Mean? The newborn's names would be announced "in due course," the statement said. When the new family departed from St. Mary's Hospital's Lindo Wing Tuesday, the world got its first glimpse of the little prince who came out in his mother's arms. The day-old baby was swaddled in a white blanket and poked his hand out, as if to greet the world. "We're still working on a name, so we'll have that as soon as we can," a beaming William told the throngs of people gathered outside. "It's the first time we've seen him, really, so we're having a proper chance to catch up." Click here for full coverage of the royal baby. "It's very emotional," Kate said. "It's such a special time. I think any parent will know what this feeling feels like." While British royalty don't typically use a surname -- although they may use "Wales" or "Mountbatten-Windsor" when a surname is required -- they often have several middle names. Prince William's full name is William Arthur Philip Louis. Oddsmakers had been taking bets on several aspects of the birth, including the heir's birth date and weight, hair color and possible name. As of Monday night, bettors with Ladbrokes, a bookmaker in England, had put George and James as the most likely names, with 3-to-1 and 4-to-1 odds, respectively. Alexander rounded out the top three with 7-to-1 odds. More traditional names with longer odds were Louis, Henry, Albert and Arthur. Bettors thought the highly non-traditional Elvis, Jahmene, Rylan, Psy and North were the most unlikely choices, each with odds of 500-to-1. Royal Baby Boy Born: What's His Sign? It has often taken some time for royal babies' names to be announced. When William was born on June 21, 1982, his parents didn't reveal his name until one week later. His father, Prince Charles, was a month old before his name was made public. His niece, Princess Beatrice of York, was about two weeks old before her name was announced. William's brother, Harry, was an exception. His name was announced on the day he was born.
