BREAKING: Court reinstates Bwacha and Binani as APC’s candidates for governor of Taraba and Adamawa
The All Progressives Congress (APC) selected Emmanuel Bwacha and Aishatu Binani as its candidates for governor of Taraba and Adamawa States, respectively, in the primary elections. On Thursday, the Court of Appeal, sitting in Yola, overturned the decisions of the High Court that had earlier declared the primary elections invalid.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) shall receive their names as APC gubernatorial candidates for both states, the court said on Thursday.
Obasanjonews24 notes that in response to a plea filed by a former candidate, David Kente, Justice Simon Amobeda of a Federal High Court in Jalingo, the capital of Taraba State, dismissed Bwacha in September.
