The Nasarawa State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal has nullified the election of Governor Abdullahi Sule of the All Progressives Congress.
The three-man panel, led by Justice Ezekiel Ajayi, delivered the judgment via zoom. The panel declared Mr Emmanuel Ombudagu of the Peoples Democratic Party winner.
Two of the justices agreed that the election was won by the PDP while one judge dissented. The panel held that the petitioner proved his case beyond reasonable doubt.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Abdullahi Sule the winner of the governorship election in Nasarawa State in March.
Prof Ishaya Tanko, the INEC returning officer, said that the APC candidate polled a total of 347,209 votes to defeat his closest opponent, David Ombugadu, who got 283, 016 votes.
