Tribunal Ruling: APC Member To Appeal in Nasarawa

The All Progressives Congress – APC member representing Lafia/Obi federal constituency Honourable Abubakar Sarki Dahiru has vowed to appeal the nullification of his election by the Nassarawa state National and State Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in the state capital, Lafia.

The tribunal had declared Joseph Haruna Kigbu of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) as the winner of the polls on Wednesday, October 28.

In its ruling, the tribunal said the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) allegations of irregularities in just one out of the three elections that were held at the same time were criminal in nature.

The tribunal therefore annulled the April 18 re-run conducted by the INEC.

The tribunal’s ruling followed a petition filed by the PDP candidate, challenging the cancellation of the March 28 general election and the April 18 re-run election by the INEC.
