NAN reports that the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad, led other justices to fix the date after counsel to parties adopted their written addresses.
Chief Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, Counsel for Dan-Alhaji, while adopting his address, prayed the apex court to restore the Feb. 13 judgment of the Zamfara High Court which allowed APC to field candidates in the general election. Fagbemi said the APC had shown proof the party conducted a free and fair primary to elect the candidates that contested the governorship election, the National Assembly and the House of Assembly elections respectively.
He said the process failed both legal and integrity tests, adding that the exercise was not conducted to produce candidates for the last general election as his clients were fenced out.
