The Taraba State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja has declared the All Progressive Congress, APC, candidate Aisha Jummai Al-Hassan winner of the April 11 gubernatorial election in the state.
The tribunal sacked Darius Ishaku, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate, and ordered that the APC candidate, Jummai Alhassan, , be sworn into office as governor.
You may recall that Jummai Al-Hassan was recently appointed minister by 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.
