Nigeria election: INEC reveals fresh decision on Zamfara APC saga
Published on April 2, 2019 By John Owen Nwachukwu 

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has said that the decision of the Supreme Court will determine the fate of those elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Zamfara State.

The electoral umpire said it will wait for the pronouncement of the Supreme Court before taking any decision on the primary elections of the party in the State.

DAILY POST reported earlier that the commission had withheld certificates of return of the state Governor-elect, Alhaji Mukhtar Shehu, following the judgment of the Court of Appeal in Sokoto.

However, the APC wrote the commission last week, saying that the Court of Appeal did not nullify their primary elections in the State.

But speaking to reporters in Abuja yesterday, INEC’s Chairman of Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, said the commission was law-abiding.

According to him, “The Independent National Electoral Commission is a law-abiding institution. It is the policy of the commission to obey court orders and court decisions.

“The commission took the decision to exclude the candidates of the All Progressives Congress from the list of nominated candidates on the grounds that the party did not conduct primary elections.

“The party has taken the matter to the Supreme Court and it is only rational and prudent to wait for the decision of the Supreme Court before proceeding.

“The commission took a cautionary approach in suspending further issuance of certificates of return to the members-elect of the state assembly, the deputy governor-elect and the governor-elect. The commission will abide by the decision of the Supreme Court on the matter.
 
“The commission does not have any interest in who becomes the governor of Zamfara State but is only interested in the processes and procedures leading to the declaration of results and issuance of certificates of return.

“We are confident that the Supreme Court will conclude the hearing of the matter and deliver its judgment before the inuguration of elected members of the national and state assemblies.

“We believe that the people of Zamfara State deserve to know who their governor and representatives are before the terminal date of this regime.
 
“The commission receives dozens of letters daily. The commission replies letters it receives but takes decisions based on the orders and judgments of courts.

“The commission studies the judgments and takes its decisions based on the judgements and orders and not based on the opinions and decisions of lawyers.”

going by the Inec guidelines APC has no business in Zamfara..APC is dead and buried

Nawa

give them their certificates

It is only when Buhari is done and gone that APC would know it's true state.

The man Buhari is just like a liability to the APC.

The party does not get the kind of advantages it should get from having the president from its party.
Cus the man is forming neutrality and integrity.
And it's suicidal to form neutrality with a party like PDP which is consistently looking for ways to get undue advantages and cut corners.


Such advantages that the PDP presidents gave the PDP in the past and will give than again if they ever return to power.

Seriously thinking out of the box, Buhari is a problem for the party.
He never had a single goodwill in the south.

Another better politician has to take over in 2023 so the party can progress.

K

am not surprised....

The supreme court would most likely toe the line of the appeal court, the high courts are usually courts of the highest bidder

na now inec no say zamfara no conduct ACP primary,, inconclusive inec

Remember this line of thought next time it goes the other way.

And don't cry that Buhari is killing juduciary and democracy.

Order have been given.APC should forget all these

i don't think the president is neutral as you assert the president is only concern about himself alone.
the president came into power also because those preceding him were neutral and exhibit democratic culture unlike him

This country is finished!

If the supreme court upholds the disqualification of the Zamfara APC primaries it means the PDP is taking over the state and the state federal legislators.

Na wao!...
