Acting Governor

The Supreme Court has issued an order today,
November 21, removing the Acting Governor of
Taraba State , Garba Umar , from office.
The court has also ordered that the previously
impeached Deputy Governor of the state,
Abubakar Danladi , be reinstated.
Danladi was impeached in September 2012 by
the State House of after he was accused of
gross misconduct.
He challenged his impeachment first at the
Federal High Court in Taraba and then at the
Court of Appeal which upheld the ruling of the
former court.
Umar replaced Danladi as Deputy Governor after
the latter’s impeachment and thus took over the
official duties of Governor Danbaba Suntai after
his plane crashed in 2012.
