National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has written to the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Yakubu Mahmood, to ask that the commission field its candidates in Zamfara in the general elections.
In the letter dated February 13, Oshiomhole asked INEC to obey the judgment of the Appeal Court which allegedly mandates the commission to accept APC candidates in Zamfara.
“I refer to our previous correspondence to you dated 25th January, 2019 in respect of our Party’s Candidates for Governorship, Deputy Governorship. Senate, House of Representatives and State House of Assembly in respect of the 2019 General Elections for Zamfara State.
