Adams Oshiomhole, national
chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has asked the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognise the party’s candidates in
Zamfara for the forthcoming elections.
In a letter dated February 13,
Oshiomhole said that the judgment of the court of appeal in Sokoto allows the
party to field candidates for elections in the state.
The letter, with reference number

as possible.
In another letter, Abubakar
Malami, attorney-general of the federation, had asked INEC to postpone the
elections in the state due to litigation.
“I refer to our previous
correspondence to you dated 25th January, 2019 in respect of our Party’s
Candidates for Governorship, Deputy Governorship. Senate, House of
Representatives and State House of Assembly in respect of the 2019 General

Appeal of the Appellants challenging the judgment of the Trial Court delivered

“We therefore urge the Commission
to give effect to the said judgment of the High Court of Justice, Zamfara State
delivered on the 25th of January, 2019.

the matter with the urgency it requires.
