The Supreme Court on Thursday affirmed the election of Agbu Kefas as the Governor of Taraba State.
Delivering judgment, Justice Lawal Garba dismissed the appeal by the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, and its governorship candidate, Yahaya Sani, for filing an incomplete record of appeal.
The Appellants had approached the Supreme Court, praying it to set aside the judgement of the Court of Appeal in Abuja which affirmed Kefas’ election victory.
The appellate court, had, in the judgement it delivered on November 28, 2023, dismissed the appeal by the NNPP and its candidate as lacking in merit.
The court held that it found no reason to vacate the verdict of the Taraba State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, which had on September 30, 2023, declared Kefas of the PDP as the bonafide winner of the gubernatorial poll.
