The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has sacked Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara and declared the March Governorship election in the state as inconclusive, and also ordered a rerun in three local government areas of the state.
Penpushing reports that the election tribunal in Zamfara State had earlier ruled in favour of Lawal of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who defeated the then-incumbent Governor, Bello Matawalle, of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The ruling has now been overturned by the appeal court and also ordered a rerun in three local government areas which include Maradun, Birnin-Magaji and Bukkuyum, however, Lawal is expected to remain in office until the matter is finally decided by the Supreme Court.
