Just few moments after Senator Aisha of Taraba state was said to have won the Taraba state election. INEC has once again declared the election inconclusive. A re-run would be conducted is said to be conducted some PUs.

Meanwhile APC is crying foul play and there has been calls to save Taraba from massive post election bloodshed.

Residents of Taraba state under a group called the Taraba Peoples Assembly (TPA) has appeal to the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Alhaji Hamad Makama tosave the state from bloodshed that might follow announcement of allegedly doctored results in the state.

TPA warns against outbreak of crisis if INECresult does not reflect the peoples’ wish. The group in a statement signed by its coordinator Martins Andekin called on INEC chairman Professor Attahiru Jega to immediately probe bribery allegation against Makama.

“A major party has alleged that Makama has been heavily bribed by a former general in the state to declare a candidate from the Southern Senatorial district, he has since refuse to clear the air onthis allegation. We are worried about what Taraba might be if doctored results are declared, the peace currently enjoyed in the state could be upturned. As a peace loving people who came out to exercise their franchise, our will must be respected. It is known that everybody wants change,” the group said.

TPC called for the total cancellation of in the Southern Zone due to massive irregularities that marred the entire process. TPA said the election result coming from Southern Taraba has been highly doctored, the zone has the lowest collection of PVC but suddenly has the highestnumber of voters,

“We should also note that one Bala Adi from the zone has been in charge of INEC card readers configuration and distribution, Adi is a strong advocate of power shift to the South at all cost,” it added.

Also more than four people have been killed so far in this contest, we recall that no single life was lost during the presidential election when the APC won.

Four people has been killed in Suntai, Bali LG, Kankanji in Takum LG, Kasamibila and Karim Lamido LG. INEC returning officers who refused to manipulate the result were attacked in the central zone.

The Army under the instruction of General TY Danjuma also intimidate voters, change collation centers. Also the APC Chairman Alh. Ardo Jika said Kurmi,Donga,Wukari,Takum, Karim Lamido and Zing local Government areas have questionable results.

He said that the results from their agents were different from what the returning officers brought to the state collation centre at Jalingo.

He noted that many wards ignored the use of Card-Reader,whereby some polling units that made use of Card-Reader were given access results where number of vote cast is more than number of accredited voters.”

Meanwhile a previous statement issued by Senator Aisha's group read:

"Within the last hour, we received a very disturbing news that Alhaji Hamad Makama, the Returning Electoral Commissioner forTaraba state, is refusing to release the Taraba South election results. He is alleged to have collected N1billion bribe from Abuja, with a view to manipulating the results in favour of PDP, thus denying Senator Aisha Al-Hassan her mandate as the duly elected Executive Governor of the state.

Based on results collated by agents and independent observers alike, everybody knows that Senator Aisha Al-Hassan is theduly elected Executive Governor of Tarabastate. No amount of bribery and delay tactic by the Jonathan cabal can deny Senator Aisha her historic victory, and the electorates’ mandate.

Alhaji Hamad Makama, be informed that your name is already in file. Your action is considered a war crime by legal experts. We will therefore leave no stone unturned in making sure that you show up at the ICC!

We urge all law abiding Nigerians, especially the good people of Taraba to remain on vigil until this treacherous gangster releases the full results as recorded in every Polling Unitin the state.
May God save Nigeria and Nigerians.Ameen."
