The Sokoto Division of the Court of Appeal has reinstated Dauda Lawal as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Zamfara State. Earlier, a high court sitting in Gusau, Zamfara State, presided over by Justice Aminu Bappa-Aliyu nullified the primaries that produced Dauda Lawal as the PDP governorship candidate and instead ruled that the PDP had no governorship candidate in the state. In its ruling, the appellate court on Friday set aside the judgment of the Federal High Court.
