JUST IN: Appeal Court affirms Abdullahi Sule as Nasarawa Gov

The Court of Appeal in Abuja has affirmed the election of Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule.

The appellate court also set aside the October 2 judgment of the Nasarawa State Election Petitions Tribunal that sacked APC’s Sule and declared David Ombugadu, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) winner of the governorship election.

Delivering judgment, the three-member panel held that the tribunal erred in law in concluding that Governor Sule did not win a majority of the votes cast in the election.
