The Supreme Court, on Friday, affirmed Lawal Dauda as the duly elected Governor of Zamfara State.
The lead decision, delivered by Emmanuel Agim, criticized the Court of Appeal’s earlier judgment, calling it baseless and lacking evidence.
“The Court of Appeal’s decision had no proof to support it. The judgment delivered in November is now set aside, including the order against the appellant’s election. Governor Dauda’s election is upheld,” stated Mr. Agim.
All panel members unanimously supported this judgment, securing Lawal Dauda’s position as the validly elected Governor.
