Nasarawa guber tussle: Supreme Court delays verdict after hearing PDP appeal

In a move likely to prolong the political uncertainty in Nasarawa State, the Supreme Court on Tuesday reserved judgment in an appeal filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) challenging the reinstatement of Governor Abdullahi Sule.

The apex court, presided over by Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, opted to delay reaching a decision after hearing arguments from both parties. This comes after the Court of Appeal earlier reinstated Sule following his initial ouster by the Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal.

The PDP’s appeal hinges on their claims of irregularities in the March 2023 elections, which they maintain should have led to the nullification of Sule’s victory.
