The Taraba State Governorship Election Tribunal has affirmed that Agbu Kefas of the Peoples Democratic Party is the validly elected governor of Taraba State.
The three-man panel led by Justics GA Sumonu dismissed the petition filed by the New Nigerian People’s Party and its candidate Prof. Sani Yahaya for lacking in merit.
The petitioner approached the Tribunal on the grounds that the governorship election was massively rigged with alleged over-voting, non-compliance with the Electoral Act by INEC and alleged diversion of votes belonging to him and NNPP, to Kefas and PDP.
Justice Sumonu, while reading the judgement, stated that during the cross-examination, counsel to Prof. Yahaya could not expanciate in detail most of the allegations made against both INEC and Governor Kefas.
