Just in: Appeal Court affirms Sule as Nasarawa governor

The Court of Appeal in Abuja has affirmed the election of Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule.

The appellate court also set aside the October 2 judgement of the Nasarawa State Election Petitions Tribunal that sacked APC’s Sule and declared David Ombugadu, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) winner of the governorship election.

The Court further held that the Governor was denied fair hearing.
