that his boss, Govenor Danbaba Suntai, has gone missing.
Governor Umar stated in an interview on Monday, that he had not set
his eyes on Governor Suntai ever since he came back from the UK some
weeks ago.

He narrated how he tried to connect with his boss as soon as he got
back but all efforts to meet with him were abortive.
Umar said: "Few of my aides and I were already at the domestic wing of
the airport to receive my boss but, unknowingly to me, the cabal was
already waiting at the international wing of the airport where the
plane conveying my boss was directed to land. When I got to know that
the plane landed at the international wing, I rushed to the place to
receive him, but he was in a jeep which immediately drove him to T.Y.
Danjuma's lodge."
Umar also insisted that his missing boss is a self-centered mechanism
employed by some cabal to hold on to power by holding him hostage.
He assured the people that his administration will continue to uphold
the values of democracy and ensure that the citizens enjoy its
dividends.
He called on citizens of state to eschew religious differences and
work towards unity in the state.
"I thank God that this year's Sallah was peaceful; peace has returned
to some of the crisis areas in the state. I have also constituted a
reconciliation committee to ensure that those who fled their homes
because of crisis return," he said.
He assured people of the state that his administration would continue
to work to ensure that everyone enjoys the dividend of democracy.
However, a former commissioner for information in the state, Mr.
Emmanuel Bello, told reporters that Suntai was not missing.
He explained that governor Suntai was doing well and would soon return
to the state to continue his business of governance.
"Since our dear governor returned from his medical trip, he has been
at the Governor's Lodge, otherwise called T.Y. Danjuma House, located
at Asokoro in Abuja," Bello said.
He stressed that the acting governor, was only waiting for this tenure
to elapse, and that after the expiration of Suntai's administration
that brought him as deputy governor, he would pack his luggage out of
Government House.
