APC rejects Nasarawa tribunal’s verdict, backs Gov Sule on appeal

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nasarawa State on Wednesday rejected the verdict of the state governorship election petition tribunal.

The three-member tribunal led by Justice Ezekiel Ajayi on Monday nullified Governor Abdullahi Sule’s victory in the March 18 election in the state.

The panel declared the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, David Ombugadu, as winner of the election.
