The Independent National Electoral Commission has suspended the presentation of Certificates of Return to the governor, deputy governor and State House of Assembly members-elect on the platform of the All Progressives Congress in Zamfara State.
A Zamfara High court had recognised the primary election that produced governorship, state and National Assembly candidates held by the APC faction loyal to Governor Abdulaziz Yari and ordered INEC to accept the party’s candidates for the elections. Yakubu said judges have the legal power to produce judgment and reach decisions with reason, noting that in the instant case it was not done.
The judges added: “Domestic affairs of political party activities must act within the confines of the law in dealing with party members and elections.”
