Supreme Court Adjourns Review of Zamfara Judgment Till March 17
The Supreme Court of Nigeria has adjourned its consideration of a request for review of its judgment in the Zamfara State governorship election dispute till March 17, 2023.
The court had earlier dismissed the appeal filed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate, Abdulaziz Yari, challenging the election of Governor Bello Matawalle of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 governorship election.
The APC and Yari had sought a review of the judgment, citing alleged errors and irregularities in the court's decision. However, the Supreme Court has now adjourned the matter till March 17 to allow the parties to file their responses to the request for review.
The adjournment is seen as a temporary setback for the APC and Yari, who had hoped to overturn the court's earlier decision and potentially alter the political landscape in Zamfara State.
