A former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Adamu, is present in court as the Appeal Court is set to deliver judgment on the Nasarawa State governorship dispute between the incumbent Governor, Abdullahi Sule of the All Progressives Congress, and David Ombugadu of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party.
Also in court are the former Governor of Nasarawa State, Tanko Al-Makura;
former Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, and former Director-General of the National Orientation Agency, Mike Omeri.
The tribunal had sacked Sule and declared PDP’s Ombugadu winner of the 2023 governorship election in the state.
Dissatisfied with the judgment, Sule filed an appeal to set aside the judgment of the tribunal and affirm his election.
The judgment in the matter is slated for 9 am.
Meanwhile, our correspondent observed a heavy presence of security personnel at the gate of the court.
Lawyers, journalists, and litigants not accredited by the court were denied access to the court premises.
