The Court of Appeal sitting in Sokoto State yesterday reinstated the Peoples Democratic Party’s governorship candidate in Zamfara State, Dauda Lawal, as the contender representing the party in the 2023 election in the state.
A statement by Lawal’s media office further said the judgement by the Federal High Court, Gusau, was a distraction strategy at play, noting that Lawal’s legal team would challenge the decision at the Appeal Court and had expressed confidence that the decision would be set aside. In a unanimous judgement read by Justice Abubakar Talba on behalf of others, he said the appellants had succeeded in proving all the seven grounds of appeals canvassed by the Counsels and all resolved in favour of the appellants.
He added that they perused all the arguments presented by different Counsels, citations of court judgements and other judicial considerations and arrived at the decision, thereby setting aside the lower court judgement and answering the prayer sought in affirmative.
