The Nasarawa State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal has sacked Abdullahi Sule as the State governor.

Thelagostimes reports that two out of the three justices of the panel led by Justice Ezekiel Ajayi declared David Umbugadu as the winner of the 2023 Nasarawa State governorship elections.

It was gathered that ex-Governors Abdullahi Adamu and Tanko Al-makura were among other political dignitaries present at the court.

Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Lafia, had declared Abdullahi Sule as 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, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who got 283, 016 votes.
