because pdp won this one,just look at the difference 540 votes in PDP control state.

The 8308 that voted for APC should be a cause of concern.
Unless they voted for the individual presented by APC rather than the party,otherwise it should call for serious appraisal by the stakeholders in Taraba state that despite the nightmare unleashed by Fulani herdsmen and assumed tacit support by the government,up to that number could still vote for a party headed by Muhammadu Buhari.

I thought you people said the party is dead?
They still defeated your living party which controls INEC.
