NASARAWA State Governor, Abdullahi Sule has filed an appeal against the Governorship Election Tribunal judgement which nullified his March 18, 2023 gubernatorial election.
Governor Sule filed the appeal at the Makurdi Division of the Court of Appeal, Benue State.
He was declared winner of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission – INEC.
The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party – PDP, David Ombugadu, had approached the Nasarawa State Election Petition Tribunal to challenge Sule’s victory, citing alleged manipulations and malpractices.
Ombugadu was consequently declared the authentic winner of the Nasarawa election by the tribunal.
The Governor however, rejected the decision, saying the petition lacked merit and ought to have been dismissed.
