A Federal High Court sitting in Gusau, the Zamfara State capital, has nullified the Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP) primary election that brought in Dauda Lawan Dare as its governorship candidate for the 2023 general elections.
Justice Aminu Bappa who gave the ruling on Friday explained that the court granted all the prayers of the plaintiffs and cancelled the election of Dauda Lawan Dare as the party’s governorship candidate.
Daily Post quoted Justice Bappa as saying, “This court has granted the prayers submitted in this honourable court by the plaintiffs and hereby ruled in their favour.
“The 109-page judgement will be presented to the counsels of both the plaintiffs and the defendants.”
After the court ruling, the counsel to all the plaintiffs, Barrister Ibrahim Aliyu told newsmen that the court had nullified the election of Dauda Lawan Dare as the PDP governorship candidate according to the prayers they submitted before the court.
“We believe in justice because the court has seen reasons to nullify the election of Dauda Lawan Dare as the 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," Aliyu said.
