INEC insists on not accepting Zamfara APC candidates

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has again said it would not accept Zamfara State All Progressives Congress (APC) for next year’s elections.The commission insisted that the party did not conduct any primaries, and as such, could not field candidates for the polls.

Reacting to a Zamfara State High Court ruling barring the commission and APC from disqualifying the aspirants, INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, stated that the “court judgment is self-explanatory as it said the status quo should be maintained.”Yakubu spoke yesterday in Abuja through his Chief Press Secretary, Lawrence Rotimi Oyekanmi.
