Court Nullifies Taraba APC Governorship Primary

A Federal High Court in Abuja has nullified the Taraba State All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primary election that held on May 26, 2022. The court ruled that the primary election was marred by irregularities and non-compliance with the party's guidelines.

The court's decision was made in a suit filed by a chieftain of the APC, Alhaji Sani Danladi, who challenged the primary election on grounds that it was not conducted in accordance with the party's constitution and guidelines.

The court, in its ruling, ordered the APC to conduct a fresh primary election within 14 days, and also directed the party to ensure that the new primary is conducted in accordance with its constitution and guidelines.

The nullification of the primary election is a significant setback for the APC in Taraba State, as it means that the party will have to start the process of selecting a new candidate for the governorship election from scratch.

The ruling is also seen as a victory for Alhaji Sani Danladi, who had been contesting the primary election results. Danladi had alleged that the primary election was rigged and that the results were manipulated to favor a particular candidate.

The APC has not yet commented on the court's ruling, but it is expected to appeal the decision. The party has 14 days to conduct a fresh primary election, and it remains to be seen how the party will respond to the court's ruling.
