Court of Appeal to Hear APC Primaries Dispute on October 6
The Court of Appeal sitting in Sokoto has scheduled a hearing for October 6, 2026, concerning the dispute over the All Progressives Congress (APC) Zamfara North senatorial primaries. The case involves Senator Sahabi Ya’u Kaura and Sani Abdullahi Shinkafi.
The Federal High Court in Gusau had previously annulled the APC primary election held on May 19, 2026, due to allegations of irregularities and the lack of valid primaries. This case was initiated by Sani Abdullahi Shinkafi, an aggrieved aspirant.
Following the court's ruling on August 31, 2026, which mandated a new primary election within 14 days, Senator Sahabi Ya’u Kaura filed an appeal against this judgment. The upcoming hearing will address the appeal filed by Kaura against the earlier decision of the Federal High Court.
