Supreme Court Reserves Ruling on APC's Request for Review of Zamfara Judgment

The Supreme Court of Nigeria has reserved its ruling on the request by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to review its earlier judgment that nullified the party's victory in the 2019 governorship election in Zamfara State.

The APC had approached the Supreme Court, seeking a review of the judgment delivered on May 24, 2019, which held that the party did not conduct valid primaries in the state, thereby rendering its candidates ineligible to participate in the election.

The APC argued that the court's earlier judgment was based on an error and that the party had, in fact, conducted valid primaries in Zamfara State.

The Supreme Court, led by Justice Olabode Rhodes-Vivour, heard the APC's application for review on Tuesday, October 27, 2020. After listening to arguments from both parties, the court reserved its ruling, indicating that a decision would be made at a later date.

The outcome of the review will have significant implications for the APC and its candidate, Abdulaziz Yari, who was declared winner of the 2019 governorship election in Zamfara State. If the Supreme Court grants the APC's request, it could potentially restore the party's victory in the election.
