Tarabans in Diaspora has called on the judiciary to save Taraba State and it’s people from what it called bad governance.
The
group in a statement by its president, Thomson Haruna, said the state
is in dire need of of quality and purposeful leadership and that only
the judiciary can enable it to achieve that.
“We are calling on
the judiciary because we believe that it is the last hope of the common
man and also because it’s ruling in the gubernatorial appeal before it
will determine the fate of the people”, he said.
Haruna, who
expressed optimism that the ruling if the tribunal which sacked Governor
Davies Ishaku of the PDP,added “the matter is a ckear-cut one. The law
demands that Primaries must be held and that it is through that process
that a candidate can emerge. The PDP in Taraba did not hold any
Primaries and the law does not recognise independent candidacy”.
He
called on people of the state to remain peaceful and avoid problems as
they await what he called a judgment, which will mark a new era in the
state’s politics.
“The swearing-in of Aisha marks the end of
god-fatherism in Taraba politics. This is because she did not ride on
anyone’s back to get to where she is. She achieved everything out of
sheer determination and hard work. She is indeed a source of inspiration
for many people in the country who are aspiring to go into politics but
do not have god-fathers”, he said.
He noted that the judiciary
has assisted many people across the country to reclaim their mandates,
adding that Taraba will not be different.
He said many indigenes
of the state who are living abroad are desirous if investing in the
state but have not been able to do so,due to what he called poor stare
if affairs.
He expressed hope that when Aisha is sworn in, as a
woman who has set many records, she will create an enabling environment.
That will allow investors to visit the state.
“Things cannot
remain like this; we need change and that is what Aisha’ s governorship
will provide. I urge the judiciary to give her a chance to turn things
around in the state”, he said.
Haruna called on Hajis Aisha to
remain true to get beliefs and steadfast in her struggles, adding that
people if the state,especially the masses are behind her.
