Chairman of the Taraba state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Victor Bala, says the death of former Governor of the state Danbaba Suntai is a great loss.

Reacting to the news of the ex-governor’s demise on Wednesday, Bala said Suntai’s name would be written in gold as a peaceful and hardworking governor.

According to the party’s chief, Suntai brought great development to the state during his six years as governor.

He said the former governor would also be remembered for his political maturity in handling the affairs of the state.
