Taraba APC ignores S’Court, conducts fresh primary

A faction of the All Progressives Congress in Tarava State on Friday held its Governorship primary in defiance of the judgement of the Supreme Court.

This is coming few days after the Supreme Court sacked the Taraba State APC governorship candidate, Senator Emmanuel Bwacha.

However, some aspirants were said to have boycotted the exercise, heightening tension in Jalingo, the state capital.

Recall that the Supreme Court had, in a unanimous decision, voided the APC primaries that produced Senator Bwacha, but said a new primaries was not necessary again,

The Taraba State APC led by Ibrahim El Sudi who was recently expelled from the position as chairman of the party, conducted the fresh primaries at the Shield Hotels, Jalingo.

A former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Tukur Buratai chaired the election committee.
