The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance in Zamfara State, Alhaji Sani Shinkafi, on Thursday, got permission of the Zamfara State Governorship and House of Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal to serve his petition against the outcome of the March 9 governorship election on the All Progressives Congress and its candidate Mukhta Idris through substituted means.
The counsel to Shinkafi and APGA Ifeanyi Mbaeri had in his motion ex-parte asked the tribunal for an order of substituted service on APC and its candidate Idris by delivering the petition and all processes on any adult staff at the APC National Secretariat at Plot 40 Blantyre Street Wuse 2 or by pasting the petition and all other processes at the entrance gate or any other conspicuous place at the APC National Secretariat, Plot 40, Blantyre Street, Wuse 2 Abuja.
Shinkafi further averred that “pursuant to section 87 of the Electoral Act 2010 as amended, a political party seeking to sponsor or nominate candidates for elections under this section shall hold primaries for aspirants to all elective positions. In other words, by the combined provisions of the 1999 Constitution as amended and Electoral Act 2010 as amended, sponsorship of candidates for elective positions is only through the holding of primaries”.
