A Federal high court sitting in Lafia, Wednesday, nullified the All Progressives Congress, (APC) primary election in Nasarawa west senatorial district and ordered the party to conduct fresh election in the zone within 14 days.
While delivering the Judgement Justice Nehezina Afolabi gave the order in Lafia, the Nasarawa state capital in a suit filed by one of the APC aspirants Mr. Labaran Magaji.
According to Justice Afolabi, the delegates’ list used during the primary election on the 4th of June 2022 was fake, hence the purported declaration of Mr. Shehu Tukur as winner of the election stands nullified.
She, then, directed the APC to conduct fresh primary election using the delegates list originally certified by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Counsel to the plaintiff, Mr. Ghali Ahmed, said they would study the judgment and come up with a position within 24 hours.
While counsel to the defendant Mr. Mubarak Adekilekun said he will consult with his client on the next line of action.
