Zamfara Guber: CSO implores Supreme Court to review earlier decision

The Centre for the Protection of Rights of the Citizens has said the people of Zamfara state are calling for a return of their mandates by the Supreme Court.

National Coordinator of the group, Muhammad Ibn Ahmad, at a press conference on Wednesday in Abuja, noted that Zamfara people who voted for the All Progressives Congress are calling for a return of their mandates.

Ahmad appealed to the Justices of the Apex court to review its earlier decision which gave victory to the Peoples Democratic Party in all elections in the state.

He said: “We are deeply concerned by the wishes of the people of Zamfara state who voted for APC in all the elections in the state as they are crying for the return of their mandate.

“Accordingly, we like to renew our appeal to the Justices of Supreme Court to review its earlier stand and restore the wishes of the people of the state in its earlier judgement which nullified the election of all the candidates of the All Progressive Congress, APC, in the 2019 general elections in Zamfara State.

“We wish to emphatically stress that having legally been on the ballot during the polls, the court should reconsider its earlier stand and restore the wishes of the Zamfara people.

“We pray the Lordships to review the rulings and being a court of records, set it aside and give justice to the teeming masses who came out to vote for the APC candidates in the said election.”

He appealed to the Sen. Kabir Marafa faction of the APC to join hands with former Governor Abdulaziz Yari to restore the pride of the party in Zamfara State.
