Cs of return: Zamfara APC, gov-elect, others write INEC, head for S’Court

l Electoral Commission.

A senator from the state, Kabir Marafa, had at the Court of Appeal challenged the judgment of a Zamfara State High Court, which gave the APC the go-ahead to field candidates during the 2019 polls.But the counsel for the APC candidates, in his letter to INEC, said the Court of Appeal did not make such an order.

“Thus, it will be wrong of the commission to rely on the mere speculative letter of the appellants’ counsel at this stage when elections have already been concluded and winners have emerged. The only institution that is empowered to make a positive order in respect of this subject matter is the court of law, and no court of law has made or given an order to that effect.”

Mahmud, SAN, also argued that the judgment of their Lordships which did not contain any positive order in favour of the appellants was supported by the provisions of section 285 of the 1999 Constitution .Following the judgment of the Court of Appeal, INEC on Tuesday suspended issuance of certificate of return to the Governor-elect of the state, Alhaji Muktar Shehu.
