Zamfara APC Group Begs Supreme Court to Review Judgment
A faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara State has approached the Supreme Court, seeking a review of the judgment that nullified the party's victory in the 2019 governorship election in the state.
The faction, led by Alhaji Lawal M. Liman, is challenging the judgment delivered by the Supreme Court on May 24, 2019, which held that the APC did not conduct valid primaries in the state, thereby rendering its candidates ineligible to contest the election.
In the petition filed by the faction, they argued that the Supreme Court erred in law by not considering the evidence presented by the APC, which showed that the party conducted valid primaries in the state.
The faction also claimed that the judgment was based on a flawed assumption that the APC did not conduct primaries in the state, which was not supported by evidence.
The petition is seeking an order of the Supreme Court to review its earlier judgment and declare the APC's candidates as the winners of the 2019 governorship election in Zamfara State.
The faction's move is seen as a last-ditch effort to challenge the judgment, which has been upheld by the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court.
It remains to be seen whether the Supreme Court will grant the review petition and revisit its earlier judgment.
