A-Court reverses nullification of Gov Ishaku’s election

—The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja
has reversed the judgement of the Taraba
State Governorship Election Petition
Tribunal which sacked governor Darius
Ishaku of the People Democratic Party,
PDP. In a unanimous judgment this
afternoon, the appellate court panel headed
by Justice Justice Abdul Aboky, held that the
tribunal acted outside its jurisdiction when
it invalidated Ishaku’s election on the
premise that he was not validly nominated
by the PDP.
