The Acting Governor of Taraba state Alhaji Sani Abubakar Danladi has declared curfew in the state from 7 pm to 6 am following the post election violent that engulfed the state after the declaration of the state governorship result.
This was made known in a press statement signed by the acting governor on Monday.
The statement said that total compliance to the curfew would help to curtail the foreseen political crisis that would bedevil the state.
Reports reaching Vanguard showed that not fewer than six persons were killed at Sunkani the headquarters of Ardo Kola local government area of the state as a result of the post election crisis.
Jalingo the state capital also witness high level of burning of properties at Narawo village while Army, patroll in Jalingo hav arrested a number of people with weapons.
As at the time of filling this report, there were crisis in Jalingo, Ardo Kola, Gasol and Sadauna local government areas of the state. A younger brother of Mark Useni the speaker Taraba State House of Assembly was said to have been killed by some gunmen in Takum local government area of Taraba state.
Meanwhile the governorship candidate of Peoples Democratic Party in Taraba state Dickson Ishaku has called on all his supporters to remain calm despite the declaration of the state gubernatorial election as inconclusive by INEC.
The Taraba state Returning Officer for the governorship election, Prof. Muhamed Kyari, declared the governorship election in the state inconclusive following the large number of cancelation of votes in the exercise.
He wondered why INEC decided to cancel the election in Donga Local government area where PDP scored over 36,000 against APC which scored just over 10,000 votes.
“INEC has been cancelling elections in poling units all over the federation where there are problems, I cannot imagine somebody to come and cancel election in a whole local government area where we have 165 poling units because of a problem that affect just 5 poling units.”
“I appreciate the people of Taraba state who came out enmass to vote for me, destiny can be delayed but cannot be changed, am appealing to all my supporters to remain calm as we as responsible people are following the issue with wisdom” Ishaku stated.

The funny thing is in the North, or rather Nigeria as a whole, curfew seems not to make any impact, even amidst curfew, violence and all stuffs that are aimed at been prevented still thrives. I hope this turns out an exception... I really look forward to a peaceful and prosperous Nigeria, I really look forward.

Henceforth political parties must be mandated to educate their members on matters relating to election and post election

Parties should be held responsible for damage or disruption of public peace caused by their members that would give room for accountability.

SAY NO TO POLITICAL TERRORISM

Very sadly, it has become a cultural trend in the north to effect their will by taking to violence. This is primitive and must be condemned in strong terms by authorities they are submissive to. Don't they have court there?


With the way it is going if not checked will lead to full blown war someday. History has it that bokoharam started by trying to enforce their will on people as these folks.

APC have started their violence again. What CPC (which later merged into APC) did in 2011 is still fresh in our memory.
