Nigeria’s former Minister of Defence, General Theophilus Danjuma, has raised an alarm over plans to rig the 2019 governorship election in Taraba State.

General Danjuma was speaking in Takum where he commissioned some projects.
He charged the people of Taraba State to guard their votes during and after the election.
The former Minister of Defence also urged the people to conduct themselves peacefully despite provocation.
The retired general also revealed that there are plans to use security agencies to disrupt and rig the elections.
He cautioned the people against selling their votes to power hungry politicians.
