Akukalia and Alhassan
The All Progressive Congress (APC) women have risen up in support of Senator Aisha Jumai Alhassan, the Governorship Candidate of the party during the March 28th, 2015 general elections in Taraba state.
The senator lost the Taraba election to Darius Ishaku of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), but won at the election petition tribunal in Abuja.
However, Ishaku of PDP challenged the tribunal judgment that declared Alhassan winner at the appeal court.
Already, the Appeal Court in Abuja presided over by Justice Abdul Aboky, has reserved judgment in the matter for a date yet to be announced.
Briefing The Inner room on Wednesday, the leader of the women, Chief Mrs. Angela Akukalia, cautioned the appeal court judges to be mindful of the case involving the APC candidate Alhassan.
The women said that the judiciary should remain the last hope of the down trodden, adding that it was obvious that the PDP candidate was not duly nominated by his party during its primaries.
Akukalia, who is championing the cause of women, maintained that the judgment given to Alhassan of APC at the lower tribunal in Abuja should not be up turned, warning that judiciary should be careful in the matter.
According to her, “judiciary has become a market place where any thing is possible, but it should not be in the case of Alhassan who has been the pillar of women in Nigeria politics”
“Alhassan, has been the beacon of hope for the down trodden, the helpless, widows, the needy and the less privileged in the society for many years, the only thing that can please the women in the country is for her victory at the poll not to be touched by anybody”
“The judiciary should help president Mohammadu Buhari to sanitize the society through burying corruption and the time to get it right is now through Alhassan’s appeal case or the women will go gaga,” Akukalia said.
