Court Takes Over Taraba APC Reps Primary Dispute
A fresh legal battle has erupted within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Taraba State as the contest for the party’s ticket for the Takum/Donga/Ussa/Yangtu Federal Constituency shifts from the ballot box to the courtroom, with one aspirant seeking to overturn the outcome of the primary election.
Hon. Audu Israel Tseaga has approached the Federal High Court in Abuja, asking the court to nullify the APC primary conducted for the constituency, alleging that the exercise was marred by serious irregularities.
In the suit, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1128/2026, Tseaga named the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the APC and Rt. Hon. Mark Bako Useni as defendants.
At the proceedings, Justice Inyang Ekwo granted leave for the originating processes to be served on Rt. Hon. Mark Bako Useni and subsequently adjourned the matter for the hearing of the Motion on Notice.
Tseaga is urging the court to invalidate the primary election and declare that he is the rightful candidate of the APC for the Takum/Donga/Ussa/Yangtu Federal Constituency in the 2027 general election.
The lawsuit marks the beginning of what is expected to be a fierce legal contest over the party’s ticket, with the outcome likely to shape the APC’s fortunes in one of Taraba State’s key federal constituencies.
