Taraba Election Tribunal orders Gov. Ishaku to streamline his witnesses

There was jubilation across Taraba following the judgment of the Court of Appeal in Abuja which upheld the election of Gov Darius Ishaku in April.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) observed that there was no celebration of any kind in Jalingo as the town was very calm with people going about their normal businesses.

Reacting to the judgment, the state Commissioner for Environment, Mrs. Rebecca Manasseh, described it as victory for democracy and a new dawn for the people of Taraba.

Manasseh commended President Muhammadu Buhari for not interfering in the judgment and called on the people of the state not to over celebrate, but remain calm and law abiding.
