Tribunal Sacks PDP's Ishaku as Taraba Gov, Declare Mrs Alhassan Winner

The Taraba State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja has nullified the election of Governor Darius Ishaku of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, reports the Vanguard.
The tribunal headed by Justice Musa Danladi Abubakar declared the gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state, Senator Aisha Jumai Alhassan‎, as the bona-fide winner of the April 11 governorship poll in the state.

Alhassan was among those that were cleared by the Senate to take up Ministerial appointment under President Muhammadu Buhari.

Mrs. Alhassan, a former senator, will be Nigeria’s first female governor if Mr. Ishaku fails to challenge the ruling, or loses the appeal.
