BREAKING: Court Stops INEC, APC From Disqualifying Zamfara Candidates

Channels Television  
Updated October 16, 2018

The Zamfara State High Court has issued an interim order restraining the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from disqualifying the party’s candidates from the state for the 2019 elections.

Justice Mukhtar Yushau gave the order on Tuesday, following a suit filed by three executive of the Party in the state, Sanusi Dan-Alhahi, Babangida Abdullahi, Chairman APC Gusau Local government area and Kabiru Chafe, Chairman APC Tsafe local government area.

In the suit, they challenged the powers of the national leadership of the APC and INEC to disqualify the candidates from contesting for various elective positions in the 2019 elections.

The plaintiffs filed the application on behalf of 24 other candidates on October 8, 2018, through their counsel, Muhammad Sani Katu.

In his ruling on the suit, Justice Yushau, issued an order of interim injunction ordering the APC, the party’s north-west zonal chairman and INEC to maintain the status quo as at the time the plaintiffs filed the suit on October 8, 2018, which was not objected by their counsels.

The judge, thereafter, adjourned the matter to October 23 for hearing to enable the defendants file their responses to the motion on notice now before the court.

I know Oshiomhole will have his way

Only a fool would think APC will not have candidates in Zamfara State..

Ipob miscreants and Atikulooters how market?

Any judge can issue an interim injunction before setting a date to hear from parties. It's normal. At the end, INEC will most likely still have its way.

ItsMeAboki:

Yes, its only an injunction; however, INEC is apparently exceeding its powers as an arbitrator and delving into the internal affairs of a party; it is not constitutionally qualified to make such declaration until the deadline for submission of the names of aspirants has expired and only if the party had failed to do so.

You have a point there, I must confess.

I thought as much but nevertheless I am Obidiently Atikulated.


Buhari fought corruption let Atiku come and fight poverty







If you are Obidiently Atikulated click like but if you want to continue with Buhari click share

IPOB WILL CRY TODAY

Instead of PDP to quickly go to Court they wr there telling inec to resist APC fielding a candidate
Na so shehu sani do em makarfi/hankuyi own??.he quickly went to court to prevent those guy representing PDP and didn't wait for INEC like PDP wr doing.

Whoever thought INEC could prevent APC aspirants in Zamfara from partaking in the 2019 elections must be a day dreamer.


Most discerning Nigerians saw the complete script even before the drama called 'disqualification' began.

i was telling one athiefkulators that the plot is for apc to get injunction and inec will complied without appealling then apc will send consesus before oct 18 which was the final deadline for submission of names.

osho baba deal ruthlessly with issues he takes no prisoner

oyegun the docile apc chairman was a rubber stamp in the hands of npdp caucus of apc party.
oyegun dare not go against the wish of saraki and his goons

Too many m.orons right above me!

To think they are people's children makes me feel sad for their parents.

those pigs were already adding zamfara to pdp state before election start sef
they want to reap where they didnt not sow

Well let them do the wuruwuru then start expecting other legal works from the other 90 political parties.There is still more to this issue.INEC will have to redeem it integrity though it have none.

PDP you see your life. You claimed you're popular that you'll win 2019 elections you even told us that Nigerians have rejected APC yet you want to win through the back door.

The same way in Rivers using court so that APC will not field candidates.
