Taraba: Supreme Court affirms Kefas as Governor

The Supreme Court has upheld the election of Agbu Kefas of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as the valid winner of the governorship election that held in Taraba State on March 18, 2023.

The apex court, in its lead judgement that was delivered by Justice Mohammed Garba, dismissed as incompetent, an appeal that was filed by the New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, and its governorship candidate in the state, Prof. Sani Yahaya.

The apex court, in a unanimous decision by a five-member panel, dismissed the appeal of the NNPP and its candidate for lacking merit.

Recall that the NNPP candidate had approached the Supreme Court, praying it to set aside the judgement of the Court of Appeal in Abuja which affirmed Kefas’ election victory.
