The Supreme Court has reserved judgment in the appeal filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate in the 2023 governorship election in Nasarawa State, David Ombugadu.
The appellants are seeking to set aside the November 23, 2023 judgment of the Court of Appeal, which reversed the earlier judgment of the election tribunal, sacking of governor Abdullahi Sule of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Court of Appeal had, in its judgment, held that evidence before it established that the tribunal relied on legally inadmissible evidence to void Sule’s election and declare Ombugadu as the winner of the governorship election held on March 18.
At the court on Tuesday, January 16, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, who led a five-member panel of the apex court, declared that judgment was reserved for a later date.
Justice Kekere-Ekun noted that the parties involved would be notified when it is ready to deliver judgement on the matter.
