Supreme Court will dismiss Aisha Alhassan’s case – Gov. Darius Ishaku

Taraba State Governor, Mr. Darius Ishaku, has said even if the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Aisha Jummai Alhassan, goes to the Supreme Court to challenge his Appeal Court victory, she will still lose since she has no valid case.

Ishaku disclosed this through his Senior Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Sylvanus Giwa, on the judgment, which confirmed him as the duly elected governor of the state.

The governor said the court verdict shows that the Judiciary is for all Nigerians not for “selective citizens.”

He said: “The Appeal Court ruled that the APC and Alhassan have no right to challenge the emergence of the PDP governorship candidate since none of them is a member of the PDP”, hence even if they go to the apex court, he would still win.

“When they go to the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court will throw away that case,” he said.

Taraba Begins ₦5,000 Deduction for Teachers’ Permanent Identity Cards

The Taraba State Universal Basic Education Board (TSUBEB) has initiated a ₦5,000 deduction from teachers as part of arrangements for the production of Permanent Identity Cards for teachers across the state. According to UBEC, the identity cards are expected to strengthen staff records, improve security and enhance administrative efficiency in the management of teachers across Taraba State. UBEC further said the Permanent Identity Card project is also expected to assist the state government in developing an accurate and verifiable database of teachers. Such a database will provide Governor Agbu Kefas with reliable information on personnel within the basic education system and support more effective planning, monitoring and personnel management. The initiative is therefore expected to strengthen security measures, improve staff verification and provide a more efficient system for managing personnel across Taraba State’s basic education sector.
