The Federal High Court sitting in Jalingo has dismissed two major cases seeking to challenge the emergence of Colonel Agbu Kefas (rtd) as the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Taraba State.

He stated that the case against the PDP candidate was very strong and expressed optimism that the appellate court would upturn the judgement in favour of Nyame.

On the other hand, counsel Agbu, Mr Musa Tende, hailed the judgement which he described as a victory for democracy. He said they would be ready to defend their case up to the Supreme Court, saying even the apex court would uphold the decision of the high court. Tende, however, called on the plaintiffs and other aggrieved members of the party to “unite for the battle ahead instead of continuing to create unnecessary distractions”.

For the PDP publicity secretary in Taraba, Mr Andetarang Iramae, as well as a chieftain of the party, Istifanus Ghana, the court’s decision is a coast-clearing ruling by Justice Amobeda that has laid to rest doubts and insinuations about the candidacy of Colonel Agbu.

Justice Donatus Okorowo, in a judgment, held that the suit was unknown to law and hence, described it as “an abuse of court process.” Okorowo, who said the court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the matter, also held that the suit did not disclose any reasonable cause of action against the respondents. “When a court finds out that a suit is an abuse of court process, the court has the right to dismiss it,” he said.
