The Supreme Court on Friday, nullified the elections of all the candidates of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Zamfara State, including governorship candidate, in the 2019 general elections and awarded victories to the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Delivering a unanimous judgment of the five-man panel led by the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad, the apex court ruled the first runners-up in the 2019 general elections in the state as the winners of all the posts earlier declared to have been won by the APC and their candidates.
There is jubilation in Zamfara and Abuja in the camps of the PDP.
Senator Kabir Marafa was instrumental to the court processes having complained bitterly that the APC leadership deployed undemocratic methods to choose its candidates for all the elective positions in the state.
