The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has halted the presentation of Certificates of Return to Zamfara state governor-elect, Mukhtar Shehu Idris, and the state House of Assembly lawmakers-elect.
This may not be unconnected with yesterday’s judgement of the Court of Appeal in Sokoto state which declared that the All Progressives Congress (APC) did not have candidates for all the elections in the state.
The commission is a statement on its verified twitter handle @inecnigeria said it has been served with the judgement and is currently studying it.
“Consequently, the presentation of certificates of returns for the Zamfara Governorship and State House of Assembly scheduled for Wednesday 27 March has been suspended,” the statement said.
