Breaking: Supreme Court Reserves Judgment in Nasarawa Governorship Poll Appeal

The Supreme Court has reserved judgment in the appeal filed by the Peoples Democratic Party challenging the Court of Appeal’s decision that reinstated Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule.

A five-member panel, led by Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, adjourned the matter after hearing arguments from the counsels involved in the appeal. Justice Kekere-Ekun mentioned that the parties would be notified once the judgment is ready.

Earlier, the state election petition tribunal had removed Governor Sule and declared David Ombugadu, the PDP candidate, as the winner of the March 18, 2023, election. The tribunal’s decision was based on the claim that the election results were manipulated in favor of Sule.

However, the Court of Appeal reinstated Governor Sule, citing an error in the tribunal’s reliance on evidence from eight PDP witnesses, whose statements were not presented alongside the petition. Ombugadu has now taken the case to the Supreme Court.
