Supreme Court Upholds Agbu Kefas as Taraba Governor

The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the election victory of Agbu Kefas as Taraba Governor

During the judgment delivery, Justice Lawal Garba dismissed the appeal from the NNPP and its governorship candidate, Yahaya Sani, due to the submission of an incomplete record of appeal.

In a unanimous decision on Thursday, the apex court dismissed Professor Yahaya Sani’s appeal from the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), stating that it lacked merit.

Professor Sani appealed to the apex court, urging it to nullify Governor Agbu’s victory in the March 18, 2023, governorship election, alleging non-compliance with the Electoral Act, irregularities, and other malpractices

He urged the court to declare him the election winner, contending that he secured a majority of the lawful votes cast.

In November, the Court of Appeal in Abuja dismissed Sani’s appeal against the Tribunal’s decision that upheld Kefas’ election.

Kanyi Daily recalls that Kefas Agbu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had been declared the winner of last Saturday’s governorship election in Taraba State
