The Federal High Court sitting in Gusau, Zamfara State, has nullified the gubernatorial primary election of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that produced Dauda Lawan-Dare as the party’s governorship candidate in the state.
Justice Aminu Bappa-Aliyu, on Friday, ordered that the party should immediately conduct fresh governorship primaries.
The PDP governorship primaries held on May 25 produced Lawal-Dare as the party’s governorship candidate for the state’s 2023 governorship election.
Three aspirants, who are plaintiffs in the suit, Dr Ibrahim Shehu-Gusau, Alhaji Wadat Madawaki, and Hafiz Muhammad, sought the nullification of the primary election over alleged irregularities.
The election was conducted by a committee sent from the PDP National Headquarters in Abuja, led by Adamu Maina-Waziri.

The defendants are the PDP, Maina-Waziri, Zamfara PDP Chairman, Col. Bala Mande (Rtd.); Lawal-Dare, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The presiding Judge, however, said the court granted all the prayers of the plaintiffs.
“The court has granted the prayers submitted in this honorable court by the plaintiffs and hereby ruled in their favour.
“The 109-page judgment will be presented to the counsel of both parties,” Justice Bappa-Aliyu said.
