Senator Aisha Jumai Alhassan of the APC has finally broken her silence on the Supreme court judgement which dashed her hope of ever being Nigeria’s first female governor by affirming Governor Darius Ishaku’s election.
Taking to social media, she reminded Nigerians that Muhammadu Buhari had contested three times and became the president after the fourth contest, “not because he lost the first three, but because the fourth time was God’s time,” she noted.
“Why wouldn’t I continue? I didn’t get it this time because it is not God’s time, because everybody knows I won the election, even PDP people in Taraba state.
“PDP people know I won the election because they know the manipulation they did in the government lodge Wukari, where they added over 50, 000 votes for Darius. They also know they manipulation they did in Donga and Kurmi LGA’s where they manipulated and also added about 50, 000 votes together for Darius.
“Therefore, I am not angry with anybody, instead I thank God for giving me good health and strength to contests and win the over 270,000 votes I got in the election. Clean real votes, not manipulated like the PDP votes.
“I say all this without fear of contradiction because PDP people know this. So we will all watch as this government which has little or no understanding of the plight and needs of the people of Taraba, let alone know solutions for them.
“I don’t know why people worry about me not congratulating Darius. I did not because you only congratulate true and deserving winners. He knows that he did not win. Therefore, he is not deserving of my congratulations.
“Once again I seize this opportunity to thank my supporters and urge them to remain steadfast and continue believing in God and start getting ready for the next round. I pray God grants us all long life and good health to fight next round.”
