The Supreme Court on Wednesday, sacked the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Taraba State, Senator Emmanuel Bwacha.
A five-member panel of the court, led by Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, held that the APC conducted an invalid primary in the state.
In September 2023, the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, annulled the election citing contravention of the Electoral Act and the 1999 Constitution.
Justice Obiora Egwatu of the lower court held that the primary was null and void as a result.
But the candidate appealed the judgment and the Court of Appeal upheld his candidacy.
However, the apex court aligned itself with the findings of the Federal High Court, thereby, affirming Justice Egwatu’s decision.
