(LOCAL) Supreme Court Goofed on Zamfara Verdict
Nigeria’s Supreme Court has left Nigerian lawyers bewildered over its verdict Friday, in which it literally robbed candidates of the All Progressives Congress of their electoral victories in Zamfara’s National Assembly, governorship and state assembly elections, held in February and March this year. In an unprecedented judicial pronouncement, the court awarded all the seats, including the governorship won by the APC to the rival Peoples Democratic Party that came a distant second.
