Reprieve For PDP As Appeal Court Clears Party For Zamfara Governorship Election

There is wild jubilation in the quarters of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as the Court of Appeal sitting in Sokoto State on Friday set aside the judgement of the Zamfara Federal High Court, barring the party from participating in the forthcoming governorship election in the state.

It was feared that earlier ruling by the Federal High Court in Gusau, Zamfara, which nullified the primary election that produced Dauda Lawal Dare as the PDP governorship candidate will not only affect the fortune of the party in the state but the federal elections.
