Court Sacks Zamfara PDP Governorship Candidate

A federal high court, sitting  in Gusau, Zamfara, has nullified the governorship primary of the Peoples Democratic Party  (PDP).

This will be the second time the PDP governorship primary that produced Dauda Lawal-Dare was nullified in Zamfara state.

Justice Aminu Bappa, in his ruling on Tuesday, stopped the party from fielding any candidate to contest the governorship election in the state in 2023 elections.

The court had previously cancelled the party’s primary in the state after Ibrahim Shehu, and two other aspirants in the election challenged the credibility of the primary that produced Lawal-Dare.

The court in September ordered a rerun in which Lawal-Dare still emerged as the party’s candidate.
