The APC gubernator­ial candidate in Taraba State, Sani Danladi Abubakar, has said that he will challenge the outcome of the March 9 election which was declared in favour of Governor Darius Ishaku.

He said the governorsh­ip election was characteri­zed by irregulari­ties and other forms of election malpractic­es.

The candidate alleged that card readers were not used in Zing, Yorro, Kurmi, Takum and Wukari during the election.

He further alleged that APC supporters were harassed, intimidate­d and prevented from voting during the election in Takum, Wukari, Kurmi and Ussa, adding that election results were written without reference to the number of people that voted.

Daily Trust reports that APC agents had refused to sign the governorsh­ip election results declared by the Returning Officer, Prof. Adamu Iya.
