Court nullifies APC governorship candidate in Taraba

The Federal High Court sitting in Jalingo, and presided over by Justice Simon Amobeda, on Tuesday, nullified the governorship primary election that produced Senator Emmanuel Bwacha, as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the 2023 election.

One of the aggrieved governorship aspirants, Chief David Kente, had dragged the party and its candidate to court over the recognition of Bwacha as the candidate of the party.

In his ruling, Justice Simon Amobeda directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct a fresh governorship primary in the state within 14 days.

The court also ordered Bwacha to stop parading himself as the governorship candidate of the APC, as well as INEC to stop recognising Bwacha as a candidate immediately.
