Appeal Court Upholds APC Primaries In Zamfara, Asks INEC To Accept Candidates by Clerverly: 1:58pm On Feb 13, 2019 |
The Appeal court sitting in Sokoto has dismissed the appeal challenging the judgment of the lower court which upheld the primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara state. Daily Trust had earlier reported on Monday that the three judges of the Appeal Court in Sokoto withdrawn from the case over bribery allegation to the tune of $3million (dollars). One of the respondents, Kabiru Marafa, alleged that there was bribery allegation against the judges which made them lose confidence in them. Counsel to Senator Marafa, Barrister Muhammad Nuhu, alleged that there was a posting on social media platform, alleging that the judges had received three million Dollars from one Kabiru Kamba to compromise. “Because of that my client is not comfortable with them and urge the president of the Court of Appeal to constitute a new panel to entertain the case,” he said. Responding to the allegation, the presiding Judge, Justice Ahmed Belgori said they have decided to disqualify themselves from the case over the grievous allegation in view of the present situation in the judiciary and the country. Recalled that a High Court in Gusau presided over by Justice Muhammad Bello Shinkafi on Jauary 25 affirmed that the APC 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. On the same day, the Federal High Court, Abuja, on Friday barred the APC, from fielding candidates in Zamfara in the forthcoming general elections. Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu of the Federal High Court, Abuja, affirmed the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), foreclosing the party from participating in the election. Justice Ojukwu held that the position adopted by INEC with regards to Zamfara APC was in tandem with the law and would help to instill discipline. https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/breaking-appeal-court-upholds-apc-primaries-in-zamfara-asks-inec-to-accept-candidates.html 19 Likes 9 Shares |

Good decision. Zamfara governor has achieved what d loquacious Amaechi couldn't. I hail this judgment. Let there be free n fair competition . Being a pre-election matter that has a possibility to be stretched up to d Supreme Court, I advise the winners here to immediately extend a hand of fellowship to d other faction to avert d pride n winners take it all mentality that brought Amaechi down. For those shouting PDP crying, it must be noted that though APC exclusion could rob off positively on PDP; it wasn't PDP that went to court but two factions of APC. 51 Likes 4 Shares |

Another great decision. Finally, all the injustices are being corrected. No elective position should be occupied without competitive electoral contest. PDP and APC should contest for all elective positions and the good people of Zamfara State should make their choice. INEC should also stop being a meddlesome interloper. Since the appeal court has now decided that the Zamfara APC primaries are valid, the commission should accept the decision of the court and let the matter be rested. The real threat to our democracy is the attempt by a particular political party to win elective seats without serious contest. That nonsense must not be allowed. 60 Likes 4 Shares |

No doubt, those charge and bail urchins who applauded the supreme court judgement few minutes ago will now tell us the "heavy corruption" in the supreme court which we don't know. When it favours these illiterates, there is rule of law, when it is against them, it is injustice. I honestly don't know how pigs survive these clear self contradictions. 69 Likes 3 Shares |
