The Nasarawa State Governorship election petition tribunal has nullified the election of Governor Abdullahi Sule, declaring the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, David Ombugadu as the winner.
According to a flash news by Vanguard Newspaper, the nullification was pronounced today by the three-man panel.
Delivering the judgment virtually, the chairman of the tribunal, Justice Ezekiel Ajayi declared Emmanuel Ombugadu of the PDP as the lawfully elected governor of Nasarawa State.
Two of the justices agreed that the election was won by the PDP while one judge dissented.
Ezekiel maintained that the petitioner was able to prove his case beyond reasonable doubt.
Former Governors Abdullahi Adamu and Tanko Al-makura were among other political dignitaries present at the court.
Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Lafia, declared Abdullahi Sule the winner of the governorship election in Nasarawa State in March.
