Taraba State Governor Agbu Kefas
Tribunal affirms Kefas as Taraba governor
The Taraba Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Jalingo, on Saturday upheld the election of Gov. Agbu Kefas of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), as the governor of the state.
The three man panel headed by Justice Ayo Sunmonu dismissed the petition filed by the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) and its governorship candidate Prof. Yahaya Sani, on the ground of lack of sufficient evidence.
Sunmonu dismissed the petition stating that the petitioners failed to justify the relief they sorted for.
Mr Sam Adda, the Councel to the governor applauded the judgement.
“It is a landmark judgment,” he said.
The NNPP and its candidate, had filed a petition before the tribunal seeking for the cancellation of the election alleging that it was characterized by irregularities.
Apart from the alleged irregularities, the party also alleged non compliance with the electoral act 2022, as major reason for the demand for the cancellation of the election among others. (INEC).
