BREAKING: Supreme Court affirms victory of Lawal as Zamafara gov.

The Supreme Court has affirmed the election of Dauda Lawal of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as Zamfara State Governor.

The apex court set aside the decision of the court of appeal declaring the governorship election in Zamafara State inconclusive.

The tribunal had dismissed the petition of the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate, Bello Matawalle, challenging the victory of Dauda Lawal of the PDP.

But at the appeal court, the court declared the election in the state inclusive and ordered a rerun in three local government areas which are Maradun, Birnin-Magaji, and Bukkuyum.
