The Court of Appeal in Abuja on Thursday reversed the sack of the Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule by the State Election Petitions Tribunal in its judgment delivered on October 2.
The Appellate Court held that Tribunal headed by Ezekiel Ajayi acted in grave error in using witness statements on oath not front loaded as required by law to arrive at the unjust conclusion of nullifying the election of the governor.
In a judgment delivered by Justice Uchechukwu Onyemenam, the Court of Appeal said that the Tribunal was legally bound to act on witness statements filed along with the petition or front loaded within 21 days stipulated by law.
