Terhemen Tarzoor (born 26 January 1972) is a Nigerian politician from Makurdi Local Government Area of Benue State in North Central Nigeria.
He previously served as Speaker in the Benue State House of Assembly in which he represented his constituency.
Tarzoor came to prominence when he ran unsuccessfully for the seat of the Governor of Benue State, losing to Samuel Ortom in the 2015 General Elections.
He finished runner-up despite running as a favorite candidate on the platform of the then ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP).
He went on to challenge the result of the election in a petition filed to the Benue State Governorship Tribunal claiming that the winner - Governor Samuel Ortom was not validly nominated to contest for the seat.
His claim was however dismissed by the court of appeal on grounds that it lacked merit.On 30 April 2017 the Daily Trust Newspaper reported that Tarzoor hopes to re-contest for the seat in the on-coming 2019 general elections. On 12 July 2017, there were newspaper reports that Tarzoor narrowly escaped death in an attack by political thugs at Yandev in Gboko, the home town of his wife Sophie.
Other newspapers captured a different version of the story with claims that Tarzoor was involved in the crisis which led to him being summoned for police interrogation.
