The Supreme Court has upheld Engineer Abdullahi Sule as the duly elected governor of Nasarawa State governor.
Reading the lead judgement, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun who read the leadc judgement, said held the appeal lacks merit, and so dismissed it.
The state election petition tribunal had removed the governor and declared David Ombugadu, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) the winner of the March 18, 2023 election.
But the appeal court returned Sule, saying the tribunal wrongly relied on the evidence of eight of the PDP witnesses, whose statements on oath were not front-loaded alongside the petition.
