The Court of Appeal, Sokoto Division, has affirmed Dauda Lawal-Dare as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the 2023 General Elections.

It would be recalled that the Federal High Court in Gusau had earlier declared, in its judgement, that the PDP had no governorship candidate for the forthcoming elections.

The Appeal Court,  through it’s ruling has set aside the judgment of the Federal High Court sitting in Gusau, the state capital, which had earlier disqualified Lawal-Dare.

In November, the High Court nullified the governorship primary of the PDP that produced the plaintiff as the party’s candidate, making it the second time the court would disqualify the party’s governorship primary election in the state.
