The Supreme Court has affirmed Dauda Lawal of the Peoples Democratic Party as the validly elected governor of Zamfara state.
The court’s five-member panel overturned the judgement of the court of appeal which declared the Zamfara gubernatorial election inconclusive.
PERISCOPE NIGERIA reports that the case was between Bello Matawalle, of the All Progressives Congress.
The court described the judgment of the appellate court as “perverse”, and ruled in favour of the appeal filed by Lawal and his party.
