The Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, has written to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to postpone elections for the National Assembly, governorship and state Houses of Assembly.
Mr Malami pegged his call for postponement on the decision of the Appeal Court that all parties return to status quo in the crisis rocking the Zamfara All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries.
The letter directed to the INEC Chairman, Yakubu Mamood, was dated February 13, 2019.
Malami cited sections 38 and 39 of Electoral (Amendment) Act 2010 to support his call.
He added that the postponement will enable the Zamfara APC to field candidates for all the positions.
He stated in the letter that he was acting upon a petition written by a law firm.
