The Court of Appeal sitting in Sokoto has fixed October 6, 2026, for the hearing of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Zamfara North senatorial primaries dispute between Senator Sahabi Ya’u Kaura and Sani Abdullahi Shinkafi.
In a letter with reference number CA/S/239/2026, the Appeal Court slated tomorrow, Tuesday, to begin the hearing.
It will be recalled that the Federal High Court sitting in Gusau had cancelled the APC primary election conducted for Zamfara North Senatorial District on May 19.
Earlier, the case alleging irregularities and the absence of valid APC senatorial primaries in Zamfara North was filed at the Federal High Court in Gusau by an aggrieved aspirant, Dr Sani Abdullahi Shinkafi.
On Monday, August 31, 2026, the court ordered a fresh APC primary election in the Zamfara North senatorial area within 14 days of the judgment.
However, dissatisfied with the judgment, Senator Sahabi Ya’u Kaura filed an appeal against the Gusau Federal High Court judgment at the Court of Appeal in Sokoto.
Therefore, the Court of Appeal sitting in Sokoto has fixed October 6, 2026, for the hearing of the case.
