Innocent People Are Being Killed Because We Won Election- Taraba Government Cries Out
The Taraba State government yesterday cried out that innocent people were being killed since the day Governor Darius Ishaku was declared winner of the governorship election in the state.
The Commissioner for Information, Simon Dogari, who briefed reporters on the incidents trailing the outcome of the election, said the attacks were being masterminded by the opposition parties who lost at the polls.
He said the attacks were intended to give the impression that the governorship election in the state was not credible.
Dogari said: “There have been several cases of attacks on innocent and defenceless people in Jalingo by miscreants hired and armed by those who lost the elections.
“Their intention is to create tension and anarchy in the state such that the impression would be created that the elections were not credible.
“The state government is happy that this motive has not been achieved. We give the credit to God and to all the good people of Taraba State who have ignored the call to arms and have in various ways helped to defuse tension rather than yield to the temptation to react violently.
“The elections were generally free, fair and peaceful. There were no major incidents, as voting took place in all the centres.
“It is also instructive that one of the major contestants in the gubernatorial election, Senator Aisha Alhassan, also rated the election as free, fair and credible, even though she lost.
“Yet, the main opposition group has embarked on a mission of organising armed youths to confront people who came out in their numbers to celebrate the PDP victory.
“The most unfortunate and dangerous dimension to this campaign was the religious colour their group tried to assign to the crisis.
“It is disheartening that a man who is aspiring to a high position of leadership of this state would resort to religious bigotry to achieve his ambition.
“Again, we thank God and the larger section of the populace for refusing to cooperate with him to cause more tension and damage to lives and properties.”
He said that Governor Darius Ishaku “deeply appreciates the contributions of all the good people of the state in achieving peace and wishes to thank everybody, including Christian and Muslim leaders, who have been part of the peace building process.”
The state government said it would ensure that all law abiding people are protected in order to go about their lawful activities without molestation.
“Governor Ishaku also wishes to remind all of you that peace is the bedrock on which every positive human endeavour can thrive, hence his peace mantra: Give me peace and I will give you development.
“We urge you to refuse to be used as political thugs, to shun violence and all forms of drug abuse and to support the government to build that future you deserve.”

Millions of Nigerians had rushed home early to prepare for the elections only to find out that it had been postponed in the wee hours of This is the third general election to be postponed since the return of democracy in 1999. In 2011, 2015 and 2019 elections were postponed. A nation that learns nothing from its mistake is bound to be heading towards failure. I think Nigeria has gone past that, Nigeria is a failing state.
It's amazing to know that not too long ago, the Chairman of INEC Yakubu Mahmood proudly boasted that he did not see any reason why this year's election would be postponed.
However, we are here. Nigeria's show of shame. The most populous black nation in the world cannot hold its elections on time. In a sane country, Mahmood would have resigned this morning for the gross incompetence.
Nigeria breeds incompetency which is aided by corruption, and that is why this country is falling apart.
And the reason why incompetence is so entrenched in the Nigerian society is that we have allowed it to flourish. There are no consequences for mediocrity in Nigerian culture. We don't understand this concept, and that is why we are here.
After this election is done with, there should be an inquiry into why INEC could not hold the elections on time. People in high places should be held accountable, and there should be stiff consequences.
Guess what? These things won't happen because Nigeria loves incompetency. After corruption, incompetency comes a close proud second.
There will be obvious organizational loopholes from INEC next week. We shouldn't be surprised. Like any other organization funded by the Federal Government in Nigeria, it is grossly incompetent.
But once again we shouldn't put all our focus on the bad stuff, we the youths need to rethink and make the right decision despite all temptations that might come in any form. All it takes is the will to do the right thing, and that right decision taken today.
