[abujagirl]

Investigations by SaharaReporters reveal that poverty-plagued Taraba State has so far spent more than $1.2 million (close to N200 million) in ten months on the medical treatment of brain-injured Governor Danbaba Suntai. The state has also spent millions of naira more in security votes to the injured governor, estacode payments to him as well as members of Mr. Suntai’s inner circle, and transportation. The total cost to the state is close to half a billion naira, our investigative team discovered.

Mr. Suntai was injured in October, 2012 when a small plane he was piloting crashed near Yola Airport in Adamawa State. Mr. Suntai was attempting to land at the time of the accident.

Moral question: what is the price of human life? In the case of the number one citizen of the state, does the good of the one surpass the good of the many?

Should the governor be treated with such 'exorbitant' funds, instead of the money being used for other mass-beneficial projects?

What would you say?
