After so much legal battles, the Supreme Court has finally affirmed Kefas Agbu as the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Taraba State.

The ruling delivered on Friday, has ultimately ended the lawsuits challenging the candidacy of Agbu as the flagbearer of PDP in the forthcoming governorship election in the state.

A governorship aspirant in the party, Jerome Nyameh, had filed a case against Kefas seeking his nullification of governorship candidate of the party.

It was learnt that Nyameh in the lawsuit filed against Kefas challenged the process that brought Kefas as the governorship candidate of the PDP.

The Federal High Court sitting in Jalingo had in September 2022 dismissed Nyameh’s case against Kefas for lacking in merit.

The Appeal Court sitting in Yola in November 2022 also dismissed the case, describing it as an internal affair of the party.
