Governor Danbaba Suntai of Taraba State, who was involved in a plane crash on Thursday, was moved to the National Hospital in Abuja for further medical attention on Friday.
Suntai arrived in an ambulance belonging to the State House Medical Centre with registration number SH 576 at about 2pm amid tight security.
He was bandaged up and placed on a life support machine, complete with an oxygen mask and other gadgets, on arrival at the hospital located in the central area, Abuja.
President Goodluck Jonathan was among early callers who paid the injured governor a solidarity visit in the Intensive Care Unit of the hospital on Friday.
Jonathan arrived in the hospital at about 3.15 pm and was received by the Chief Medical Director, Prof. Bello Shehu. In a meeting with journalists after the visit, the President said Suntai’s condition was stable.
He said, “First, I have to thank God for what happened. A plane crash is not something that you can just wave off. We are quite happy that the governor is stable, I have seen him and I think the doctors are working very hard on him. I believe that God willing, he will be well soon.”
The governor and other survivors of the crash had earlier been admitted at a hospital in Yola, Adamawa State, where the crash occurred.
