He urged supporters to be calm and law-abiding, predicting that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would win even if the rerun covered the entire state.

“We have nothing to worry about; we know that the people voted for us before, and they are still ready to vote for us again.

“Our determination to rescue the state is intact, as you can see a number of ongoing developmental projects across the state.

“Our aim is to change the narrative of our socioeconomic development,” he said.

Muktar Lugga, acting Chairman of the state PDP, praised the party faithful for turning out in large numbers to greet the governor.

He said that the rally signified support for the state administration.

Platinum Times reports that the Court of Appeal in Abuja declared the March 18 governorship election in Zamfara inconclusive.

The three-member panel, led by Justice Oyebisi Folayemi and supported by Justice Cordelia Ifeoma Jombo-Ofo and Justice Sybil Nwaka Gbagi, overturned Lawal’s (PDP) re-election as governor.

The court ordered a new election in three Local Government Areas where elections had not previously been held or where results from various voting units had not been tabulated.
