He submitted that INEC must save the nation’s unity and the PDP from election what he described as election riggers by playing her independent and credible role.

The governor, who described the tribunal judgement against the Osun State governor, Ademola Adeleke as a miscarriage of justice submitted that PDP was out to save the country from the untold hardship being subjected to Nigerians.

He stated that “While I call on every citizen of Taraba to stay clear from any form of election violence as the security would deal decisively with anyone caught in the act, I wish to state here that INEC must insist on the use of BVAS to save Nigerians and the PDP from election riggers.

“The Osun governorship election is a proof and an indication that Nigerians need a PDP administration to reshape the country and unite the people for better development. The Tribunal judgement against governor Adeleke is a miscarriage of justice, I call on the upper court to dismiss the irritating judgement.

“For us in Taraba, our campaign is going to be a door–door campaign and I believe that our physical projects would buy the people’s conscience to vote for Atiku as president, Agbu as governor and all the national and state houses of assembly candidates.”
