Acting Governor of Taraba State, Garba Umar according to The Nation, is under pressure over the state of the state’s financial health, following negative reactions of the people of the state and groups over the N20b bond facility the Taraba State government obtained recently from the United Bank of Africa (UBA).
Save Taraba from Anarchy (STA), a group had during the week alleged that the bond facility confirmed fears that the financial state of the state may be under threat.
In a press statement read by Dr. Bulus Ahmadu, the group alleged that Umar may have collected the bonds for his 2015 ambition.
“We are constrained to ask the appropriate agency to investigate the state’s coffers. Massive looting is going on in Taraba State and no one is asking questions. The state is broke. Projects have come to a halt and it is obvious that the state’s account is in the red. The bond Umar collected was once presented to Governor Suntai and he rejected it. Why is Umar collecting it now?” the statement said.
