Nassarawa Governorship Case : Appeal Court Fixes Thursday For Judgement
By Abubakar S.H
Appeal Court will issue its decision in the Nasarawa State governorship election case on Thursday.
This is contained in a court notice from the Appeal Court in Abuja.
It would be recalled that lower court, Nassarawa state election petition tribunal had earlier sacked the state governor, Abdullahi Sule, who was declared winner of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
According to the governorship result compiled by INEC, Sule polled a total of 347,209 votes to defeat his closest opponent, who secured 283,016 votes.
The tribunal, in a split decision on October 2, sacked Governor Sule of the All Progressives Congress and declared David Ombugadu of the Peoples Democratic Party as winner of the election.
However, Sule, through his counsel, Wole Olanipekun (SAN), approached the appellate court, asking it to upturn the judgment of the tribunal.
