Zamfara Governorship: Supreme Court fixes date to hear APC’s application
The Supreme Court, on Tuesday, fixed March 2, for hearing an application, seeking it to review its judgement which nullified the victory of the candidates of the All Progressive Congress at the 2019 general elections held in Zamfara State.
The fresh application before the apex court was brought by a faction of the APC led by a former governor of the state, Abdulaziz Yari. “That the teeming electorates in Zamfara State have been unfairly and unjustifiably denied or deprived of their natural or ordinary outcome of the votes cast by them.”
The Supreme Court validated the judgement of the Court of Appeal, Sokoto Division, which ruled that no valid primaries were conducted by the APC in Zamfara State.
