PRESS STATEMENT BY TARABA STATE APC

Attention to mischievous and comical judgment by the Federal High Court Jalingo, on a case f3iled by some unknown persons parading as concerned citizens, who raised the issue of a purported improper declaration of age by His Excellency Sani Abubakar Danladi. The so called concerned citizens claimed that there were discrepancies in the declaration of age as contained in Sani Danladi’s SSCE and his statutory declaration of age in the year 2000.
However, we wish our teaming supporters to note that this issue had been taken to court in the year 2007 and was subsequently dismissed by the Appeal Court. It should also be noted that all judgments passed by the appeal court supersedes those of the lower Courts in the whole country. There also legal process involved in the substitution of candidates by INEC and therefore a court judgment does not automatically translate to disqualification to contest an election.
By this explanation, we are calling on all law abiding citizens and APC members throughout the State to remain calm and discountenance or disregard any issue or rumor regarding the eligibility of His Excellency to contest Saturday’s Gubernatorial Elections. Legal steps have already commenced to set aside this mischievous judgment which we view as another desperate attempt by agents of the PDP and the State Government to escape defeat on Saturday.
All APC members are hereby called upon to continue with their campaigns and preparations towards the elections. All our agents are also hereby directed to ensure that they dutifully accompany all sensitive materials and to ensure their distributions to all designated voting areas.

Signed:
AARON ARTIMAS
APC State Publicity Secretary

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.
