Court Nullifies PDP Governorship Primary In Zamfara

The primary poll that elected Dauda Lawan Dare as the Peoples Democratic Party’s governorship candidate for the general elections in 2023 has been declared invalid by a Federal High court in Gusau, Zamfara State.
According to the presiding judge, Justice Aminu Bappa, the court granted all of the plaintiffs’ requests and revoked the selection of Dauda Lawan Dare as the party’s candidate for the general elections of 2023.

“This court has granted the prayers submitted in this honourable court by the plaintiffs and hereby ruled in their favour” the judge added.

“The 109-page judgement will be presented to the counsels of both the plaintiffs and the dependants”.

Attorney Ibrahim Aliyu, who represents all of the plaintiffs, told reporters shortly after the decision that the court had nullified the election of Dauda Lawan Dare as the PDP governorship candidate. This was in accordance with the petitions they had made to the court.

“We believe in justice because the Court has seen reasons to nullify the election of Dauda Lawan Dare as PDP candidate in Zamfara state”

“We had in our prayers urged the court to nullify the election which was characterised by a series of irregularities and we are happy that our prayers have been granted”
