The Federal High Court sitting in Jalingo, Taraba state capital, has nullified the governorship primary election that produced Senator Emmanuel Bwacha as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the 2023 election.
The election was annuled on Tuesday by presiding judge Justice Simon Amobeda, on Tuesday.
The case was filed by one of the governorship aspirants, Chief David Kente.
In his ruling, Amobeda directed the Independent National Electoral Commission 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.
