The Coast is clear....

Recall that INEC had declined to accept APC candidates in Zamfara because, according to the commission, the party failed to meet the deadline for holding primaries.

This gave rise to two different Court litigations. One at Zamfara State High Court while the second was at FCT High Court Abuja.

On 25th of January 2019 precisely, the two courts issued conflicting rulings on whether the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) can accept candidates presented by the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Zamfara State elections in 2019.

In Zamfara State, a High Court sitting in Gusau, ruled that the governing APC actually conducted primaries in the state and should be allowed to present candidates for electoral contest.

An Abuja court, however, ruled otherwise.

The Zamfara court specifically directed INEC to accept candidates from the party for Zamfara States in the forthcoming elections.

Based on the above, I summarize as follows:

1. A High Court in Zamfara gave a judgement, ordering INEC to reverse its decision to ban APC from fielding its candidates.

2. A Federal High Court in Abuja same day gave a judgment ordering INEC not to accept the APC candidates.

3. INEC for reasons best known to it choose to obey the Abuja high court Judgement while ignoring the one given by the Zamfara state high Court.

4. However, the Appeal Court in Abuja yesterday set aside the judgement of the Federal high court Abuja which ruled that INEC acted within its powers by refusing to accept the list of candidates from the Zamfara State chapter of the APC.

5. In setting aside the Abuja judgement, the appeal court gave two major reasons......First they said the Abuja suit was filled out of time, the same reason that killed the chances of APC in Rivers. Secondly, they said the Abuja suit was an abuse of court process that it should not have been entertained in first place since a similar suit was already subsisting in Zamfara State high Court....

6. Thus from the forgoing, the only remaining judgement is the Zamfara court judgement that specifically asked INEC to allow APC Zamfara to field its candidate which up till today has not been appealed or Upturned. So, the APC Zamfara candidates are cleared now for the elections.
