The Supreme Court is set to deliver judgment on the Gubernatorial dispute in Nasarawa State, between Sule and Ombugadu on Friday, 19th January 2024, it was learned.

The appeal was filed by David Ombugadu, the Gubernatorial Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), challenging the victory of Governor Abdullahi Sule of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Mallam Ali Abare, a media aide to Governor Abdullahi, corroborated the news in a statement on Thursday, 18th January 2024 quoting reliable sources.

This information follows the recent adoption of briefs of arguments from all parties involved, with the Supreme Court reserving judgment to a later date.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), declared APC’s Sule, the winner of the gubernatorial election held on March 18, 2023.

Dissatisfied with the results, PDP’s Ombugadu filed a petition at the Election Tribunal, which was granted on October 2nd.

Governor Sule contested the Tribunal’s decision, seeking redress at the Appeal Court. The Appellate Court eventually set aside the Tribunal’s judgment and reinstated Sule as the winner of the election.

It was gathered that leaders of both political parties recently signed a fresh Peace Accord in anticipation of the Supreme Court judgment.
