On Monday, July 17, 2023, the Taraba State High Court, with Justice Nuhu Adi presiding in Jalingo, made a significant ruling.
The court set aside the appointment of Alhaji Abubakar Bawa as the PDP Chairman of Taraba State, declaring his appointment invalid, unconstitutional, null, and void. Furthermore, the court issued a perpetual restraint, preventing Alhaji Abubakar Bawa from occupying that office.
In the same ruling, the court re-instated Alhaji Inuwa Bakari to his former position as the Acting Chairman of the PDP in Taraba State. This decision marks a significant legal development in the state’s political landscape.
