Court affirms Zamfara APC primaries, asks INEC to accept candidates

A high court in Gusau presided over by justice Muhammad Bello Shinkafi on Friday affirmed that the ruling All Progressive Congress in Zamfara state had conducted primaries elections on 3rd and 7th October 2018.

The court also asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to accept the primaries for the APC’s governorship, senatorial, house of representatives and state Assembly seats.



The National Secretariat of the All Progressive Congress was also barred from replacing the names of those who won the primary elections of the party on 7th October 2018.

In case with a suit number ZMS/GS/52/2018, Sanusi Liman Dan Alhaji and 37 others vs APC and 143, the plaintiffs had asked the court to compel the All Progressive Congress and the Independent National Electoral Commission accept the results of the party’s primaries election in the state conducted on the 7th of October 2018 among others.


After cross examination of all witnesses justice Shinkafi granted the prayers of the APC and agreed that primary elections were conducted and won on October 7 2018.

The APC primary elections in the state were mired in controversy when the Independent National Electoral Commission said the party can not field candidates in the state for the forthcoming 2019 general elections.

Onto Rivers State, we are moving..

supreme court should comfirm rivers APC primary.

Anything outside that is against democracy.
The way supreme court claim to help democracy and made judgement against sheriff despite sheriff having legal argument to save PDP and Opposition,
they should upheld APC primary to ensure democracy in rivers state. Those who nominated the candidates are APC members.

The fact that the state congress has issues does not stop a party from having candidate since supreme court have already ruled in the past that it is the national NWC that nominate candidates not the state.

let them not do that

What do you expect from a Judge that is in the payroll of the state Government. Once the case gets to Federal High Court, APC will be thrown into the bin.

SAME WILL HAPPen in Rivers state

Governor wike's mood on hearing the news.

True that. This shouldn't be an issue in the first place.
Parties belong to its stakeholders.
Anything short of a favourable judgement for Rivers APC will prove that the supreme Court is in cahoots with the PDP. Which is ant-idemocratic

lolz

Its funny how people keep rooting for their party to come victorious without having their PVC to push it to reality.
Hit 'Like' if you have collected your PVC and share if you are yet to collect yours

Hehehe.. weda apc get candidate or not for rivers.. apc go atill lose... rivers matter na settled talk jare

Interesting...

Exercise in futility because this judgement would be nullified on appeal. Seems Buhari is using money meant for fighting bokoharam to paying for judgments.

Good reason for Onoghen to remain, no shaking.

PDP has Yamutu

PDP does not exist in ZAMFARA.

Charge and bail lawyer. Learn to read. Both Judgements are different.

One is on the rights of inec while the other is on the validity of the primaries

For the shameless iPod's Jess and criminals
The Court in Abuja affirmed InEC power to reject Candidates, if it feels the process was flawed.

But the High Court In Zamfara State, has ruled the process that produced the candidates were in order and ordering InEC to accept the lists.

Note: The Second Judgement is an order...The INEC will be served today, and they are abound to comply.

This is victory for Democracy. God bless our judiciary.

Supreme ruling for Rivers state issues to be breaking soon.

Igbos will commit suicide today.

This abuja high court only said INEC have the power to reject candidate.
Zamfara high court gave an order saying nothing wrong in the primary inec rejected.
The zamfara state high court oder is superior to affirmation of inec rights by Abuja high court.
Zamfara states high court is not denying INEC power to reject candidate. it is only affirming the October 7 primary is valid.

Is it not shameful and demonic that the anti-corruption government of Buhari and APC are now the ones going about bribing Nigerians with bags of rice and Tradermoni to buy votes?

Nigerians are indeed stupid(including the educated zombies) and deserves the kind of evil leaders they get.

Dead party..

Confusion everywhere

You mean oluwole court?
