The National Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has fixed Friday, February 10, 2023 for a fresh governorship primary election in Taraba State.
This comes after the Supreme Court on Wednesday nullified the primary in which Senator Emmanuel Bwacha emerged as the APC governorship candidate in the forthcoming general elections.
In a letter dated February 2, 2023, the National Organising Secretary, Sulaiman Muhammad Argungu, told the Taraba State Chairman of the party that the exercise will be held at Jolly Nyame Stadium in Jalingo, the state capital.
