The Peoples Democratic Party has hailed the Supreme Court for refusing to reverse its judgment, voiding participation of the All Progressives Congress and its candidates in Zamfara State in the 2019 general elections. The party gave the commendation in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, on Monday in Abuja. Ologbondiyan said the Supreme Court by its decision had once again saved the nation from a huge constitutional crisis.
