Tribunal nullifies Gov Abdullahi Sule’s victory in Nasarawa, declares PDP winner

Gov Sule

The Nasarawa State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, on Monday, has set outside the victory of Governor Abdullahi Sule of the All Progressives Party.

While delivering the judgment via Zoom, the three-man panel led by Justice Ezekiel Ajayi said Emmanuel Ombudagu of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was the winner.

Ezekiel maintained that the petitioner could prove his case beyond reasonable doubt for alleged over-voting disruption of votes, among other irregularities.

Kemi Filani earlier reported that ex-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.

Prof Ishaya Tanko, the INEC returning officer, said that the APC candidate polled a total of 347,209 votes to defeat his closest opponent, David Ombugadu, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who got 283 016 votes.
