Breaking: Court Backs INEC On Rejection Of Zamfara APC Candidates by deboysben(m): 4:24pm On Jan 25, 2019
A Federal High Court in Abuja has backed the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in refusing to accept the list of candidates for the next general elections from the Zamfara state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, in a judgment on Friday, January 25, ruled that INEC acted within its powers by refusing to accept list of candidates after the APC failed to conduct a valid primary within the period scheduled by the electoral body, The Nation reports.

The court held that the decision of INEC was within the rule of law and intended to check impunity among political parties and politicians.
The ruling of the Federal High Court was sequel to a suit filed in the name of APC by some individuals, who said they emerged from a consensus arrangement adopted by the party in Zamfara state.
In another report, the Delta state chapter of the APC has been rattled by a ruling by the Court of Appeal sitting in Benin City which declared that until the substantive case of the authentic congress of the APC is determined, the Delta state chapter of the party has no reason, and cannot present names of candidates for the forthcoming general elections.

Chief Cyril Ogodo, state chairman of the APC told The Independent that the implication of the ruling was that the APC had no candidate in the coming election in the state until the suit is determined by the courts.
However, the factional chairman of the APC in Delta state, Prophet Jones Erue, has said the court ruling was opportunity for the party to be strengthened ahead of the coming polls.
