Justice Obiora Egwatu of the Federal High Court Abuja, has nullified the All Progressives Congress Primary that produced Senator Emmanuel Bwacha as its Governorship Candidate for the general election next year.
Delivering ruling, Justice Egwuatu declared that based on submissions made before him by all concerned parties, the purported primary election conducted by APC on 26th of May this year upon which the party announced Senator Emmanuel Bwacha (APC, Taraba South), as its candidate for the 2023 gubernatorial elections, was a nullity.
The ruling was instituted by the senator representing Taraba Central, mister Yusuf Yusuf.
Bwacha was last month sacked by another Federal High Court in Jalingo, the
Taraba State capital, in a different case instituted by another Governorship aspirant, David Kente, in the APC gubernatorial primary held on 26th of May this year.
In their separate Rulings, the two courts called on the leadership of the APC to conduct a fresh governorship primary in Taraba.
