The Appeal Court in Yola had reinstated Bwacha as the party’s candidate for Taraba state.

Two Federal High Courts in Jalingo and Abuja had at various times nullified the APC gubernatorial primary election and ordered a fresh primary within 14 days.

The Supreme Court, in its judgment, maintained that the court of appeal was wrong to have set aside the decision of the trial court.
