NIGERIANS WHILE PREPARING FOR THE LAST ELECTIONS
A legal war has ensued  over the outcome of the recently concluded governorship elections held in Taraba state in Nigeria.
In an exclusive phone interview from Jalingo,Taraba State,The Head Media and Communications of David Sabo Kente Campaign organization of the Social Democratic Party [S.D.P.],Mr Henry Ibya has said that the newly sworn in governor ,Chief Darius Ishaku has been sued over what they believe was a clear case of broad daylight robbery.
He explained that his boss,Chief David Sabo Kente has taken his battle for justice to the conventional courts and not the election petition tribunal.
He did not give any reason as to why they sued at the Federal High Court but he nonetheless insisted that Chief Darius Ishaku was wrongfully installed as the P.D.P. candidate at the primaries held in Abuja .
He pointed out that due to this aforementioned reason his boss was disenfranchised as a result and had to look for another political platform to exercise his fundamental human rights to contest the last polls.
In a related issue,an estimated 120,000 invalid voters detected by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission [I.N.E.C]are believed to belong to the Social Democratic Party.
In an exclusive phone interview with the News Office Desk of Paedia Express Multimedia ,The Head Media and Communications ,David Sabo Kente Governorship Campaign Organisation for the 2015 elections ,Mr Henry Ibya  said that Chief Kente has continued to call for the cancellation of the poll result  in the state because it fell far below acceptable standards globally.
Mr Ibya in his response to questions  on the polls, blamed the independent National Electoral Commission [INEC] and members of the law enforcement agencies for allowing themselves to be used severely to rape democracy .
He painted a gory picture of the entire exercise as he lamented the various rigging tactics employed by party thugs and supporters of the two leading political parties like the All Progressives Congress[A.P.C.] and the Peoples Democratic Party[P.D.P.]
He affirmed that because of the incumbency factor enjoyed by the aforementioned duo,they both rigged the elections in there respective area of electoral strength.
He revealed that despite the perceived injustice done to his  principal ,Chief David Sabo Kente they were not planning to  ditch the current arrangement to go into any form of coalition with any other political group in the future in the state.
In a related issue,an insight into why Chief Darius Ishaku of the Peoples Democratic Party [P.D.P.]was elected Governor of Taraba State has started to emerge .
In an exclusive phone interview with the News Office Desk of Paedia Express Multimedia Group,The Head Media and Communications of Chief David Sabo  Kente Governorship Campaign Organization,Mr Henry Ibyasaid in his soft spoken voice that Chief Ishaku won only because the people  feared General Theophilous Yakubu Danjuma ,Former Nigerian Army Chief of Staff and Minister for Defence  on account of his clout nationally  and nothing else.
He assured that since the people felt the war time hero had always supported them during land skirmish with other rival tribes like the jukuns and the Tivs,the Sabo Kente team were helpless against this sentiments.
According to him the religious cards was also played to the latter as the state was mainly dominated by Christians  and this was why the woman who ran for governorship under the ticket of the All Progressives Congress [A.P.C.] would never have won as she was a muslim.
He revealed that his boss ,Chief David Sabo Kente ,a former Director of the National Assembly who ran for the governorship seat in Taraba state in 2015 under the banner of the Social Democratic Party ,finishing a distant Third Place had travelled abroad shortly after the conclusion of the polls for what was believed to be a period to rest after the pains of a very grueling electioneering campaign.
Mr Ibya who is on leave from of absence from the E.N.M. Paedia Express Multimedia  Group as the Executive Director and Head Northern Division pointed out that he and others in Chief Kente’s organizations were waiting for their boss’s return from his overseas trip as at the time in May,2015
He thanked members of the Nigerian press for all the coverage they gave his team during the course of the 2015 General elections.
When probed as to whether General Danjuma apart from his deep pocket was instrumental to the creation of the state ,he simply  said yes in a terse reply in an eight minute phone conversation recently
