The Acting Governor of Taraba State, Alhaji Garba Umar, lost his first battle to invalidate the dissolution of the State Executive Council by Governor Danbaba Suntai, when he failed to convene a meeting of the members scheduled for Friday morning.
The acting governor had issued a statement reversing the sack of the council and the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Gavey Yawe and the Secretary to the State Government.
Suntai had on Wednesday named Timothy Gibon Kataps as the new SSG and as the new chief of Staff replacing Yawe while sacking the Exco members. But on Thursday, Garba asked the people of the stat Governor Danbaba Suntai and Acting Governor, Alhaji Garba Umar Governor Danbaba Suntai and Acting Governor, Alhaji Garba Umare to ignore the dissolution of the cabinet, alleging that it was masterminded by a
cabal bent on hijacking the state and its resources.
