The Governorship Election Tribunal sitting
in Abuja has removed the Taraba State Governor, Darius Ishaku.
The tribunal has declared the governorship
candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mrs. Aisha Alhassan, winner
of the April 11 election in Taraba State.
Mrs. Alhassan had challenged the
victory of Governor Ishaku in the Taraba
State governorship election.
The tribunal Chairman, Justice Musa
Abubakar, had on October 7 reserved judgment indefinitely after hearing the
final submissions of the counsels.
In his final address, the Lead counsel to
the petitioners, Mr. Mahmoud Magaji (SAN), asked the tribunal to return Mrs.
Alhassan as the duly elected governor of Taraba State.
The Counsel to the governor, Mr. Kanu
Agabi (SAN) prayed the court to dismiss the petition, describing it as lacking
in merit.
