Tanimu, argued that the Court of Appeal in Sokoto was right in stopping APC from fielding candidates for the 2019 general election in Zamfara because the party failed to conduct any primary known to law.In a related development, Justice Muhammad fixed May 24 for judgment delivery in the appeal that emanated in the conduct of the last gubernatorial election in Ekiti State.
