UPDATED: APC loses Zamfara as Supreme Court voids victory for all seats
The supreme court has held that the All Progressives Congress did not have any valid candidate in all the elections conducted in Zamfara state this year.
The court gave the ruling in a unanimous judgement delivered by a five-man panel of justices led by acting chief justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad.
It held that the ruling party did not conduct valid primary elections to nominate candidates for any elective position in the state.
The court maintained that the Sokoto division of the court of appeal was right when it held that the APCÂ did not file any eligible candidate in the 2019 general election in Zamfara state.
The verdict was prepared and delivered by Justice Paul Galinje.
Justice Galinje also awarded a cost of ten million naira against the APC.
