Suntai, who suffered injuries from a plane crash in 2012, recently went to London for a medical check following initial treatments received in Germany and the United States.
Arriving the Nnamdi Azikiwe's airport, Abuja, Suntai was received by a former Governor of the state, Rev. Jolly Nyame.
Also at the airport were Senator Emmanuel Bwacha, Minister of Niger Delta, Isiaku Darius and a former Deputy Governor, Alhaji Uba Maigari.
Speaking with journalists, Darius said "Tarabas State will heave a sigh of relief following the coming of the governor. "I am excited, he just addressed us and expressed joy to be back home and l will like to add that his health is a miracle,".
Taraba ex-governor Nyame said Suntai's mental alertness indicated that he was capable of taking over the affairs of the state.
"It is obvious that the governor can recognise everyone here which shows that he is mentally alert and lucid.
"He just addressed the press, but the last time, he didn't, which shows that he can take over as the governor," Nyame said.
News reported that Gov. Suntai was taken to the guest house of General T.Y Danjuma from the airport.
Sources reportedly disclosed that although he was at the airport, the state's acting Governor, Alhaji Garba Umar, could not meet with Suntai, because of what Suntai loyalists called his betrayal of their leader.
"You know, Umar, last Wednesday, led the state executive to mandate the Speaker of the state House of Assembly to set up a medical team that would declare Suntai incapacitated. So his presence at the airport was like a contradiction and so Suntai men blocked him."
Suntai, at the guest house, addressed the press, expressing gratitude to well wishers.
From observation, he looked stronger than the time he returned from the United States in August in 2013. The governor reportedly spent most of his day receiving visitors in the guest house.
