The Supreme Court, on Friday, declared Abdullahi Sule of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the duly elected Governor of Nasarawa State.
Naija News reports that the apex court took the decision after dismissing the appeal challenging Sule’s victory at the March 18 governorship election.
The court dismissed, thereafter, dismissed the appeal by the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Nasarawa State, Emmanuel David Ombugadu, to overturn Governor Sule’s election.
Recall that the Nasarawa Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal had nullified Governor Sule’s election and ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to issue a fresh Certificate of Return to the PDP candidate.
The tribunal held that it was satisfied that Governor Sule was a beneficiary of over-voting that occurred in several polling units in the state.
