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.
