The governorship election petition tribunal made this declaration after sacking Governor Abdullahi Sule of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from his position.

In a ruling delivered on Monday, two of the justices agreed that the 2023 governorship election in Nasarawa State was won by the PDP’s flagbearer, Ombugadu, while one judge dissented.
