BREAKING: Appeal Court Sacks Gabriel Suswam As Senator

The Court of Appeal in Abuja has nullified the election of former Benue State Governor, Gabriel Suswam, as a Senator.

VerseNews reports that the appellate court ruled that Suswam was not the valid winner of the senatorial election held in Benue North East on February 25.

It faulted the judgment of the Benue State National Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal, which had earlier returned Suswam to the Senate.

According to the Court of Appeal, the tribunal wrongly evaluated the evidence presented before it, leading to an erroneous conclusion.

The court affirmed the election victory of Mr. Emmanuel Udende of the All Progressives Congress, APC, setting aside Suswam’s return.
