Guber Election: At Least, INEC Declares Taraba PDP Candidate, Agbu Governor-Elect

51

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has finally declared the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governorship candidate of Taraba state, Kefas Agbu as the governor-elect.

Making the declaration in the early hours of Tuesday, in Jalingo, the state capital, the returning officer, Professor Mohammed Ahmad Abdullaziz said the candidate has fulfilled all the election requirements, hence his emergence as the governor-elect for Taraba state.

While the governor-elect polled a total of 257,926 votes, in last Saturday’s gubernatorial election, his closest rival who is the candidate of the New Nigerian Peoples Party NNPP, Professor Sani Yahaya scored a total votes of 202,277.

A former Deputy Minority Leader who later defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator Emmanuel Bwacha came third with 142,502 votes.

In his acceptance speech, Agbu vowed to carry all the people in the state along, irrespective of political, religious and tribal affiliations.
