Sensing political chaos in state, the ruling party, PDP sent a peace-making delegation to the state as parties involved were invited to a meeting inside the State Government house in Jalingo. After the meeting, Senator Hope Uzodinma who led the delegation briefed newsmen, some of whom had seen the governor Suntai earlier, saying there is no more problem in the state as warring parties have agreed to put the Deputy Governor in charge of state affairs until the governor recuperates fully.
Surprising, Governor Danbaba Suntai decided to exhaust legal means on the matter, by heading to court a few days after, with the Taraba High Court granting and ordering a leave to hear the suit filed by the governor against the Speaker and members of Taraba State House of Assembly.
The governor sought relief for a declaration that the letter which he sent to the Speaker is absolute, mandatory obeisant, immutable and cannot be debated or contradicted by any means and has automatically assumed his powers and responsibilities as governor of Taraba state.
The Court fixed 12th of September for the hearing of the suit, but was adjourned till Tuesday 17th of September due to late response of the plaintiffs' counsel to the preliminary objections of the defense counsel.
