The former Minister of Defence, Gen. TY
Danjuma, has been accused by the All
Progressives Congress, APC, of instigating
the Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC, with money so as not
to emerge its candidate, Aishatu Jummai-
Alhassan, winner of the governorship
election in the state. While the official result
of the election is yet to be announced by
INEC, the youth leader of Alhassan’s
campaign, Bala Abubakar Maina, who made
this allegation, disclosed that INEC officials in
the state have collected N2 billion to retune
results in favour of the Peoples Democracy
Party, PDP.
He was however optimistic that the rigging
arrangement will fail because permutations
were already ubiquitous about Alhassan
being the winner of the April 11 elections. “I
am assuring you that with their TY
Danjuma and the bribe money, Senator
Aisha Jummai Alhassan, Maman Taraba
insha Allah will certainly be the next
governor of the state,” Bala said.
Reacting, Secretary of PDP Governorship
Campaign Organisation, Nelson Lens
accused APC of being reluctant to accept the
fact that Taraba is a PDP state and will
remain a PDP state. On their allegation,
Nelson said, “TY is too big for this allegation,
with our candidate who is already a
marketable and sellable candidate, chief
Darius did his homework very well; he has
been nice to the people of Taraba even
before his venturing into politics”.
