The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has on Thursday reversed the nullification of the election of Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State by the electoral tribunal.
The Appeal Court, in a unanimous decision by a three-member panel of justices, voided the verdict of the Nasarawa State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, which sacked Governor Sule of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
In the verdict as delivered by Justice Uchechukwu Onuemenam, stated that the court held that evidence before it established that the tribunal relied on legally inadmissible evidence to declare the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, David Ombugadu, as the valid winner of the governorship election that was held in the state on March 18.
