The Nasarawa State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Lafia, the state capital, has ordered the withdrawal of Certificate of Return issued to Governor Abdullahi Sule of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the March 18 election.
Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Governor Sule winner of the election.
Following the declaration, David Ubugadu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had headed to the tribunal to challenge his opponent’s victory.
In a split judgement by the three-man Tribunal headed by Justice Ezekiel Ajayi, on Monday, the majority declared Umbugadu as winner of the election.
