SABO KENTE MAY ADD TO TARABA WOES

T.Y.DANJUMA IS BELIEVED TO BE PULLING THE STRINGS BEHIND THE CURTAINS FOR ISHAKU,HE IS NOT HAPPY AT THE RULING AT THE TRIBUNAL THOUGH HE HAS BEEN QUIET

BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU.

The Governorship candidate for the Social Democratic Party[S.D.P]for the 2015 General elections,CHIEF David Sabo Kente can add to the woes of current Governor of the state,Chief Darius  Ishaku if his prayers before a Federal High Court is accepted.

In an exclusive telephone interview with the News Office Desk ,the Media Head of David Sabo Kente Governorship campaign team ,Mr Henry Ibya said that they were watching recent political development in the state with very keen interest.

He explained that though his principal was in a civil court and did not go to the elections petition tribunal but they cannot deny that they have more than a passing interest in the recent affairs of the state.

He noted that though he was not a judicial officer  hence not competent to give a professional judgment on the recent ruling  that gave the baton of powers to Senator Jummai alhassan now a Federal Minister but he was sure that judges that delivered the judgment did their homework.

He had told this reporter several weeks earlier that with the way election results were being overturned at the various tribunals nationwide  he was sure that his principal could emerge victorious.

Chief David Sabo Kente  is at the Federal High Courts to challenge the manner in which Chief Darius Ishaku emerged as the flag bearer  of the Peoples Democratic Party [P.D.P] which left him disenfranchised hence had to switch over to contest in S.D.P.

Recently ,a Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) sitting Governor was  sacked by the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja,Nigeria
That singular decision has recorded the first ever female Governor democratically elected in the chequered political history of Nigeria
Like the case of former Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State who took his election battle to the highest judicial peak in the land, Supreme Court,before he triumphed over those who wanted to mess him up within his party, this one is unique
In Amaechi’s case there was a PDP primary which favoured him,but the leaders thought otherwise and gave the party Governorship nomination to a man who did not win.And the PDP candidate in the election proper went on to win the Rivers State Governorship Election
Then,Amaechi made history as a man who did not go through the rigours of electioneering campaign,financial stress and psychological trauma to be the Governor of Rivers State,because he duly won the PDP primary

Senator Aisha Jumai Alhassan,also known as Mama Taraba, was the flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the April 11th 2015 Governorship Election.
And she became the newest and the first democratically elected female Governor of Taraba State, nay in the whole federation courtesy the Tribunal ruling last weekend
Mama Taraba fought frantically and came second  behind Governor Dennis Ishaku of the PDP as she scored the second highest number of votes in that turbulent Gubernatorial tussle
The Taraba State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal headed by Mr Justice Musa Danladi Abubakar ruled that Governor Dennis Ishaku went against section 85 of the 2010 Electoral Act.
That Dennis Ishaku forced his way on the electorate in Taraba State because he was never sponsored by his party:PDP or any other party in the state as stipulated by the law
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) threw spanner into the wheel of Governor Ishaku’s case by declaring that it has no evidence of any Governorship primary conducted by the PDP in Taraba State
INEC was emphatic that it did not receive the 21 days mandatory notice of invitation from the PDP.

Chief David Sabo Kente is believed to be telling the civil courts that Chief Darius Ishaku ‘s shenanigans forced him to quit P.D.P to seek his fortunes in the S.D.P same reasons that was adduced by the tribunal to throw Ishaku out of office

Now Chief David Sabo Kente’s Social Democratic Party finished third in a very strong field of over  20 political parties  that competed for governorship roles in the 2015 general elections.
