The Taraba state Returning Officer for the governorship election, Prof. Muhamed Kyari, declared the governorship election in the state inconclusive following the large number of cancelation of votes in the exercise.

He wondered why INEC decided to cancel the election in Donga Local government area where PDP scored over 36,000 against APC which scored just over 10,000 votes.

“INEC has been cancelling elections in poling units all over the federation where there are problems, I cannot imagine somebody to come and cancel election in a whole local government area where we have 165 poling units because of a problem that affect just 5 poling units.”

“I appreciate the people of Taraba state who came out enmass to vote for me, destiny can be delayed but cannot be changed, am appealing to all my supporters to remain calm as we as responsible people are following the issue with wisdom” Ishaku stated.

  2. Is only a fool like the so-called Prof. Kyari that can think of re-run election at PDP dominated area inTaraba state, when PDP is already leading. That tells how dull our Nigerian Professors are. pls Buhari come and salvage our decline education system. no wonder people preferred taking their children to TOGO university than Nigerian universities for study. this is a typical proof to justify their preference. what a shame!!!!.

  3. HMMMN truly speaking some Professors in Nigeria are bunch of disappointment, I don't know what they do impact on the students. always asking students for gratifications, producing halfbacked students full in the street without job cos no company will employ them. As for that fool whether he likes it or not PDP has upper hand in Taraba. He is only looking for what to convince Aisha for her gallant lost.
