The Court of Appeal sitting in Yola on Thursday November 24th, 2022 unanimously declared Senator Emmanuel Bwacha as the authentic and lawfully nominated Gubernatorial candidate of the APC in Taraba State for the 2023 General Elections.
Briefing journalists at the Bwacha’s Campaign Office in Jalingo on the victory, Director, Media of the Bwacha Governotorial Campaign Council (BGCC) Mr. Aaron Artimas said this historic and monumental judgement sets aside the Jalingo Federal High Court judgement which purportedly voided Bwacha’s candidature.
Mr. Artimas said the Appeal Court ruled that the institutions authorized by law to monitor and authenticate the conduct of primaries the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), security agencies and all respective organisations have presented reports to the effect that the primaries had been successfully conducted.
He said the Court held that the lower court merely engaged itself in academic exercise by exploring into irrelevant issues.
The media guru noted that the Bwacha Gubernatorial Campaign Council heartily welcomes this judgement not only as the vindication of their faith in the Nigeria judiciary but also a divine answer to the prayers of millions of Tarabans whose faith in God’s positive intervention was not diminished.
He stated that in a message to the Campaign Council, the Taraba State APC Gubernatorial Candidate Senator Emmanuel Bwacha congratulated the entire people of Taraba State for this landmark victory.
Mr. Artimas said the victory at the Court of Appeal was a special gift from God to the long suffering people of Taraba State and appealed to them to brace up for the real struggle ahead saying that Senator Bwacha promised to take his campaign to all the nocks and crannies of the state in order to directly engage with the people and to acquaint himself with their problems.
He further said the Senator also called on his supporters to be magnanimous in victory by conducting themselves peacefully.
