Aggrieved Taraba PDP guber aspirant vows to approach S’court

Tinternal crisis in Taraba State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) over the emergence of Kefas Agbu as the governorship candidate for the 2023 election has taken a new twist, as one of the aggrieved aspirants has vowed to proceed to the Supreme Court.

Prof. Jerome Nyameh, whose suit was dismissed on Friday by the Court of Appeal in Yola, Adamawa State, for lack of merit, said he had concluded plans to approach the apex court for justice.

Delivering judgment between Nyameh and Agbu on Friday over the governorship primary election, the three Justices of the appellate court were divided in their decisions. This boosted Nyameh’s optimism that the Supreme Court will consider his arguments and rule in his favour.

At the appellate court, while Justices Obande Ogbuinya and Adebukunola Banjoko, who were absent, wrote their majority judgment in favour of Agbu, Justice Saidu Husaini, wrote a minority judgment in favour of Nyameh.
