Appeal Court Okays Kefas As Taraba PDP Guber Candidate
It is cheering news for the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Taraba State, Colonel Kefas Agbu (rtd) as the Yola division of the Court of Appeal on Friday affirmed him as the authentic flag bearer of the Party for the 2023 general elections.
The three-man panel of justices dismissed the appeal brought by Professor Jerome Nyameh challenging the ruling of the Federal High Court, Jalingo, which earlier upheld the primary election that produced Kefas as PDP governorship candidate in Taraba State.
Similarly, the Appeal Court in another suit filed by Hilkiah Bubajoda Mafindi, one of the governorship aspirants, also affirmed Kefas as the PDP gubernatorial candidate and dismissed the appeal brought by the appellant.
The spokesperson of the Agbu Kefas Campaign Organisation, Emmanuel Bello, while reacting to the development, said the judgment affirmed their trust in the judiciary and the electoral process.
According to him; “The primary that brought Kefas was the best in the history of the state. The lower court upheld this position and today, the Appeal Court has affirmed it.
“We want to assure the people of Taraba State that Kefas is the answer to Taraba’s problems and he will do all that he has promised to do when elected in 2023.”
