* Not our doing- Taraba Govt reacts

Narrating how it happened to journalists in Takum, Sen. Aisha Alhassan said “When I came  in on Thursday, there was no problem and people were happy to see me .

They went and hired people, not from Takum, because Takum people accommodated us even in the governors ward.

“Today in the morning before we went out, the governor and his deputy went out separately and everywhere they went to people rejected them, saying ‘Ba Mayi- Ba Mayi’.

“You know it is in their character to arrange attacks, thugs and rigging in PDP.  I was in PDP before but it is not in my character that was why I chose to leave and will never go back again.

“In fact at one place, the deputy governor had to run because they were rejected. So because of that they went and hired people

“They brought thugs yesterday, and thank God when I heard the information I reported to the commissioner of police who was also in Takum that we have reliable  information that they are bringing thugs from Wukari, Jalingo and Bali local government area and he said they were going to monitor.

“But we discovered that the people sneaked into this town and gathered stones in a hilux vehicle and waited for us at the route we were to follow.

“While we were moving, we started seeing stones coming from one direction and the security officers on the convoy advised that we go back to avoid clash between our supporters and theirs.

“Immediately we made a u-turn to leave, they also moved along with us in their hilux and were stoning our convoy.

“They broke the back windscreen of the state APC chairman and broke that of my own car which did not scatter because of the way it was designed.”

Not Our Doing- Taraba Govt reacts

Reacting to the allegation, Taraba state government disassociated itself from the claim, adding that the state government nor PDP sponsored thugs to attack the convoy of the minister.

Senior Special Adviser to governor Ishaku  on media and publicity, Bala Dan Abu said ” the allegation that the minister was attacked and sponsored by the governor and the PDP is very malicious.

“It is wrong, wicked and we condemn it in its entirety. This is an election set out for the PDP to win very clearly. The governor of Taraba state, Arch. Darius Ishaku would not go to the extent of importing aliens.

” The governor is from this place and if he wants people to attack Aisha does he need to go and import them? Why does he have to go outside Takum to bring people for the attack?

“The governor is a democrat who believes in democracy. He believes in election as an instrument of recruitment and will never go to a ridiculous and dishonourable extent of frustrating the election. ”
