The apex court in its judgment, set aside the decision of the Court of Appeal which declared the Zamfara governorship poll inconclusive.
But delivering the lead decision of the Supreme Court, Hon. Justice Emmanuel Agim described the judgment of the lower court as “perverse and lacked evidential foundation.”
Lawal, in a statement on Friday by his spokesperson, Sulaiman Bala Idris, described the Supreme Court verdict as a reflection of the people’s desire for positive development and progress.
According to him, working together is critical to achieving sustainable development in the state.
“I am thrilled to have received affirmation of my election by the Supreme Court today. This verdict will boost our morale in fulfilling our campaign promises.
“Today’s victory is confirmation of the collective decision made by the people of Zamfara State during the governorship election held in March last year. This victory is for all the people of Zamfara State.
“By my campaign manifesto which serves as a guide for our rescue mission, my administration has taken swift action to liberate Zamfara from the shackles of poor governance,” Lawal said.
