A Federal High Court sitting in Jalingo on
Tuesday nullified the Taraba governorship primary election that produced
Emmanuel Bwacha as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the 2023
election.
David Kente, an aggrieved aspirant, had
dragged the party and its candidate to court over the recognition of Bwacha as
the candidate of the party.
In his ruling, the presiding Judge, Justice
Simon Amobeda, ordered that a fresh primary election be conducted within 14
days.
The court also ordered Bwacha to stop
parading himself as the governorship candidate of the APC.
