garfield1:Even when you know that this man didn't win the election, as it was crystal clear that PDP won that election?? Senatordave1, garfield1, etc, all your law case analyses are always in favor of APC; so it is not actually a case of knowledge of the law, but using using and twisting your knowledge of the law to do propaganda for APC. That's shameful, to say the least. 4 Likes |

Governor Sule's Grounds Of Appeal Just On Technicalities *** According to Babajide Kolade-Otitoju of TVC, “it is not the work of the Judges to proof your petition or defence”. In the case of Nasarawa State, David Ombugadu of the People's Democratic Party(PDP) at the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal(GEPT) provided polling unit by polling unit results of the areas he was shortchanged in the 2023 gubernatorial election. On the other hand, the All Progressives Congress(APC) and the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) could not provide different results to proof the declaration that returned Governor Abdullahi Sule. The court is not a father Christmas, as such, the Tribunal has to look the way of substantive evidence. It was also noted by a senior Advocate, Mr John Matthew, that the wrong computation could have been avoided if the electoral umpire, INEC did their job well. With all the opportunities INEC and APC had during the sittings of the Tribunal, they failed to provide any witness or any documentary fact as to how they came out with the over sixty thousand votes that gave APC victory and returned Governor Sule elected. With the only evidences provided by PDP's Ombugadu, the Tribunal just recomputed the results and declared that he got the majority of valid votes. The grounds of Appeal of Governor Sule, APC and INEC are just on technicalities but not the substance or merit of the petition or defence.
