The Federal High Court sitting in Gusau has cancelled the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election conducted for the Zamfara North Senatorial District.
The court, which sat on Monday, also ordered the APC to conduct a fresh primary election in the Zamfara North Senatorial District within 14 days of the judgment.
The presiding judge, Justice Hassan Dikko, delivered the ruling after about two hours of hearing, during which he considered the written addresses and arguments adopted by the plaintiffs and defendants.
Justice Dikko ruled that a fresh APC primary election should be conducted in the senatorial district within 14 days.
Reacting to the judgment, APC senatorial aspirant, Dr Sani Abdullahi Shinkafi, expressed appreciation for the court’s decision, saying it had restored people’s confidence in the judiciary.
“I appreciate the judgement, it’s a milestone towards our success, the judiciary has been vindicated, people still have confidence on them.”
It would be recalled that Shinkafi had approached the court to challenge the legality of the APC primary election conducted for the Zamfara North Senatorial District.
