The Presiding Judge, Justice Bello kucheri, made it clear that the case was adjourned to February 17 following some processes filed by the counsels to the accuseds.

Dealing with newsmen after the adjournment of the case, one of the counsels to Senator Marafa, Barrister Misbahu Salawuddeen, described that they remained in the court to pray for the annulment of the congresses carried out by Governor Bello Mattawale-led faction of the APC.

“We are challenging the congresses performed by the Matawalle’s faction of the All Progressives Congress here in Zamfara State since they were unconstitutional.

“The irregularities were that our clients were disenfranchised as they were not permitted to buy the forms and participate in the congress.

“For example, when we applied for the purchase and issuance of the election kinds, we were disenfranchised.

“The Marafa-led faction of the party were disenfranchised and prevented from taking part in the congress after they paid and got the types.

“We are saying that we were disenfranchised, that is why we are stating that due process of the law and the APC constitution were not complied with.”
“What they have actually done was a flagrant disobedience to the party building”.

Responding to the upcoming national convention of the party on February 26, Barrister Salawuddeen mentioned that the case is before the court now which no one deserves to determine which of the three factions in the state will be there.

He, however, expressed optimism that his clients would get justice at the end of the case.
