Court of Appeal Reserves Judgment on APC Primary Election
The Court of Appeal in Sokoto has reserved judgment in an appeal concerning the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election for the North Senatorial District. Barrister Bello Galadi, representing Dr. Sani Abdullahi Shinkafi, the first respondent, informed journalists that the proceedings focused on the adoption of written briefs from all parties.
The appellant's brief was previously served to the respondents, who filed their replies as per court rules. Following the formal adoption of written addresses, the court adjourned the matter for judgment, with no specific date set for the ruling.
Dr. Sani Abdullahi Shinkafi expressed confidence that the appeal court would uphold the prior ruling that nullified the APC primary election in the Zamfara North Senatorial District, citing evidence that the primary violated the Electoral Act and APC guidelines. This appeal follows a Federal High Court decision that invalidated the primary election held on August 31.
