The new Acting Governor of Taraba State, Sani Danladi, who took power Friday, has cancelled all appointments made by his predecessor, Garba Umar.
Danladi also ordered the affected office holders to immediately handover all government property in their possession.
The acting governor took the decision on Friday night shortly after he arrived in Jalingo from Abuja in company with top politicians from the state including former governor, Jolly Nyame.
Others who accompanied him were Emmanuel Njiuwa, and Idris Waziri, Joel Ikenya, Emmaunel Bwacha, Jumai Alhassan, the state Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Victor Balla, and former minister, Dairius Ishaku, among others.
Addressing the people of the state at the Executive Council Chamber of the Government House, Danladi said he does not wish to be addressed as acting governor of Taraba State.
According to him, it is impossible for him to serve in that capacity while his principal, Governor Danbaba Suntai, is around.
However, Danladi said he is quite aware of what happened to him but noted that he has forgiven everybody, no matter the role they played in the impeachment saga.
The deputy governor spoke glowingly about the Supreme Court which reinstated him, and commended the body for the fairness and impartiality they exhibited in his appeal.
