Delivering judgment, the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal filed by David Ombugadu and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), for lacking in merit.
A five-man panel of the Supreme Court held that Governor Sule was validly elected in the election that held on March 18, 2023.
The PDP Governorship candidate, David Ombugadu, had filed an appeal against the judgment of the Court of Appeal that reinstated Governor Abdullahi Sule.
The Nasarawa State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal had nullified the March 18, 2023 Governorship election in which INEC declared Abdullahi Sule as the winner of the election.
