The All Progressives Congress application to the Supreme Court to review its judgement delivered on May 24, 2019 in respect of the Zamfara state APC primary elections has been adjourned again, the hearing of the review application is now fixed for March 17.

The matter came up earlier on February 18 but was adjourned to March 2, for the fact that the 141st to the 178th respondents to the application did not appear in court and were not served with the hearing notice.

At a resumed hearing on Monday, the apex court noticed that the said respondents in view have still not been served.

On Monday, Robert Clarke SAN said he had served the 141st to 178th respondents but the Supreme Court said from its record, “there is no proof of service”.

In reaction to this, Clarke said he is in a dilemna and therefore requested for an adjournment to March 3, to enable him effect service.

The Supreme Court said if the addresses of the 141st to 178th respondents are not on the originating processes, “it means that the application is incompetent”.
