, the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in the last Zamfara State election, Mukhtar Idris, attended the recently concluded induction for new and returning governors-elect.
Mr Idris was among the participants at the three-day event organised by the Nigerians Governors Forum, at the Aso Presidential Banquet Hall, Presidential Villa, Abuja.Also at the event were two former American governors, Bill Richardson of New Mexico and Martin O’Malley of Maryland State.Controversies erupted when the outgoing Zamfara governor and the chairman of the governors’ forum, Abdulaziz Yari, ‘handpicked’ his former commissioner for finance, Mr Idris, to succeed him as the next governor.
However, after the election, aggrieved APC members continued their case in court and the Court of Appeal eventually ruled that the APC had no candidate for all the elections held in Zamfara; thus declaring Mr Idris’s election null and void.When contacted, INEC restated its stance that Mr Idris would not be issued a certificate of return.
Although Mr Idris may have attended the event with the hope that the Supreme Court would rule in his favour, officials declined to explain his invitation.
The court will decide his fate .
APC is a lawless party....
And he was admitted ? We are in deep shit
I think he was high on sth
Lawless country , a country where implementing law is selective
rubbish so they don't have right to appeal again? Go out and look for better things to write on.
