2023 Election: States Where Courts Have Sacked APC Governorship Candidates

The All Progressives Congress (APC) is yet to know its fates in 2 states over the continued litigations against their governorship primaries in the states.

Daily Trust reported that six months after the leading political parties conducted their governorship primaries, litigations have kept their fate dangling in the 2023 governorship election.

The 2 affected states:
Adamawa
Taraba

The APC primaries in the 2 states have been nullified, and the party is yet to know what would come out of the appeal.

Recall that the ruling party also faced litigations over its primaries in Zamfara state in 2019, which disqualified the APC in all elective positions in the state, including the governorship contest.

The party was able to reclaim the state when governor Bello Matawalle defected to the APC with some key leaders of the PDP.

Aishatu Binani and Emmanuel Bwacha both won the APC governorship primaries in Adamawa and Taraba states.

The duo are both in the appeal court to reclaim their seats after they were sacked by the courts.
