The Appeal Court upholds Agbu’s candidacy for governor of Taraba.

A lawsuit contesting Kefas Agbu’s eligibility to run in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governorship primary election in Taraba state was dismissed by the Federal High Court, Jalingo, according to an appeals court sitting in Yola, the capital of Adamawa state.

According to information, Kefas prevailed in the court case thanks to a two-thirds vote of the three justices who presided over the case.

Recall that Kefas Agbu received 443 votes, out of the 517 cast, to win the PDP’s governorship primary election.

Helkiah Buba-Joda and Jerome Nyameh, two candidates for the ticket, filed the appeal after their prior lawsuit at the Federal High Court in Jalingo was thrown out.

Inuwa Bakari, the PDP’s acting chairman in Taraba state, confirmed the development.

He claimed that the appellate court’s ruling confirmed the validity of the party’s governorship primary election results.

He also urged the litigants to sheathe their swords after losing their case at two courts and join hands with the party’s candidate to ensure PDP retains the governorship seat in 2023.
