Taraba APC suspends governorship candidate
The Taraba State chapter of the All Progressives Congress suspended its governorship candidate, Senator Emmanuel Bwacha, over alleged anti-party activities about one week to the governorship election.
Consequently, the party directed him to “suspend the related illegal activities (campaign) and appear before the fact-findings committee on March 13 2023 to defend the allegations raised against him in a petition or face heavy consequences.
His suspension was contained in a letter dated March 8 and signed by all the Mararaba, Donga Local Government ward executives of the APC.
The decision came on the heels of another contentious Federal High Court judgment which ordered the independent National Electoral Commission to recognize Bwacha as the governorship candidate of APC in Taraba State.
Bwacha was sacked by the Supreme Court on the grounds that the party did not conduct a valid primary.
Bwacha went ahead to conduct primaries allegedly boycotted by other aspirants
