Appeal court reinstates Dauda Lawal as Zamfara PDP guber candidate | TheCable
the court nullified the rerun and barred the party from fielding any candidate for the 2023 governorship election.In a previous judgment delivered on November 23, the court of appeal held that the appeal filed by the PDP was academic since it had already complied with the high court’s ruling which ordered a fresh primary poll.
In the recent appeal, however, a three-man panel of the appeal court ordered the Independent National Election Commission to accept Lawal-Dare as the elected governorship candidate of the PDP in Zamfara state. The panel said it was inconceivable for the federal high court judge to refuse to accept the INEC report of the primaries claiming that it was not certified despite being a public document and published on the INEC website.Furthermore, the panel held that the federal high court was wrong to have granted a relief not sought by the plaintiff, adding that “the court is not father Christmas”.
