A former governor of Ñasarawa State and senator representing the Southern senatorial district of the state, Umaru Tanko Al-makura, has given reasons why he withdrew his ongoing case before the National Assembly and State Assembly Election Petition Tribunal presently sitting in Lafia.
In a statement issued yesterday in Lafia, the former governor said he withdrew his case challenging the election of Hon. Mohammed Ogboshi Onawo because no sacrifice is too much for the stability of Nasarawa State and Nigeria at large.
The senator had earlier challenged the declaration of Onawo as winner of the National Assembly election for the Nasarawa South senatorial district during the last poll in the state, alleging irregularities in some wards especially in Lafia metropolis.
However, the senator shocked his supporters by announcing the withdrawal of his petition during a pre-hearings of the tribunal.
