Tribunal sacks PDP’s Ishaku as Taraba governor, declares APC's Aisha Jumai Alhassan‎ as the first female governor in Nigeria



The Taraba State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja has nullified the election of Governor Darius Ishaku of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

‎The tribunal headed by Justice Musa Danladi Abubakar declared the gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state, Senator A, 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.
