Danjuma at the venue of the programme when the Crowd, comprising of Youths and Women shouted into the air shouting “bamu so, bamu so,” while some calling him “thief, thief.”
Some of the Crowd shouting “Ishaku is the worst Governor and a failure as well as a disgrace to Taraba State “.
Governor Ishaku was allegedly chased out of Wukari on Wednesday night by the angry youths who vowed not to allow the Governor pass the night in Wukari due to alleged maladministration and bad governance.
It was gathered that because of the tensions that enveloped Wukari on Wednesday night, Ishaku had no choice than to relocate to Takum local government, before returning to Donga on Thursday for the programme in Donga.

It was gathered that what really angered the youths was the Taraba State House of Assembly granting the request of the Governor to take a loan of N5.5 on Wednesday few hours before his departure for Wukari.
The youths accused the Governor of collecting billions of naira in loans without any project commemorate to the money, including his refusal to pay arrears of pension and gratuity to their parents and relatives.
According to John Agyo, a youth leader from Wukari who spoke to our correspondent in Donga accused Governor Ishaku of looting the state resources through loans, which he alleged was running to over N200 billions.
Agyo maitland that Ishaku is a failure, adding that the people of Wukari and the entire Southern Senatorial Zone will resist any attempt to allow Ishaku represent the Zone in the forthcoming Senatorial elections. ///.
Investigations by Nigerian Concord Newspaper reveal that the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers Council, Mr. Pius Akutah, has allegedly misappropriated public funds for a lavish lifestyle.
According to our findings, within months of assuming office, Akutah allegedly purchased a bulletproof SUV valued at approximately N850 million. In addition, he is reported to have acquired over twenty exotic SUVs for use as a convoy.
Akutah is also said to have acquired multiple high-value properties, including three in Abuja’s Maitama and Asokoro districts worth over N2 billion, and two in Lagos’ Banana Island valued at N1.8 billion. These acquisitions appear far beyond the scope of his official salary and allowances.
Further investigation suggests that Akutah may be using public funds to support political ambitions, including allegedly grooming militants across 23 local government areas in Benue State for a potential 2027 gubernatorial bid.
Staff of the Shippers Council reportedly claim that Akutah frequently accesses the council’s treasury without proper authorization. Some insiders have indicated that a petition will soon be filed with the EFCC, ICPC, and the Presidency to report his alleged misconduct.
