BREAKING: Tribunal sacks Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa, declares PDP winner

The Nasarawa State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal,
on Monday, nullified the victory of Governor Abdullahi Sule.

The three-man panel led by Justice Ezekiel Ajayi, while
delivering the judgment via zoom, said Emmanuel Ombudagu of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, is the winner.

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

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.
