Crisis erupted in the party shortly after the March 28 governorship election in the state following the appointment of Alhaji Abubakar Bawa as substantive chairman of the party.
The chairmanship position became vacant when Kefas resigned to contest the PDP governorship primaries which he won and eventually emerged governor. However, deputy chairman of the party, Alhaji Inuwa Bakari who stepped in as acting chairman and led the party to victory in the general election proceeded to Federal High Court, Jalingo to challenge the appointment of Bawa as chairman of the party.
Delivering judgment in the case, the Federal High, presided over by Justice Khalifa Bala Usman ruled the National Working Committee of the party has the power to appoint a substantive party chairman and therefore affirmed the appointment of Bawa. Not satisfied with the ruling, Alhaji Bakari appealed the judgment at the Court of Appeal and the matter is slated for hearing on Monday, July 10.
