The elections petitions tribunal sitting in Abuja has
declared Aisha Jummai Alhassan of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the
duly elected governor of Taraba state, thus sacking Darius Ishaku of the
Peoples Democratic Party.
Mama Taraba as she is fondly called will become the first
elected female governor in Nigeria. She is expected to relinquish her position
as a minister as she was recently cleared by the Senate and was part of the
retreat organised for ministers-designate by the president in Abuja.
However, there are indications that Ishaku will appeal the
verdict of the tribunal.
