The tribunal, led by Justice Ezekiel Ajayi, found that Ombugadu had provided evidence that the election results were manipulated in favor of the APC and had the majority of valid votes\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While HURIWA acknowledges the governor\u2019s right to appeal the decision, it issued a warning against the potential misuse of state funds to finance the appeal and urged Governor Sule not to further deplete the state\u2019s finances by funding a potentially fruitless appeal. Instead, the organization called on him to respect the tribunal\u2019s verdict and uphold the principles of democracy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">HURIWA emphasized that the misuse of public funds for personal political battles is a form of corruption that undermines the principles of good governance and transparency. \u201cSuch actions represent a serious violation of the foundations of democratic governance and ethical conduct, posing a direct threat to Nigeria\u2019s democracy and its essential principles of integrity and accountability\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In response to these grave concerns, HURIWA called on the Independent and Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to initiate an immediate and comprehensive investigation into Governor Sule\u2019s financial transactions and the utilization of public resources by his administration, stressing that the objective of the investigation is to determine whether state funds have been diverted to finance the governor\u2019s legal campaign and take appropriate action if any wrongdoing is found.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Furthermore, HURIWA called for significant electoral reforms to address the issue of litigation arising from elections. The organization contended that the current practice, where sitting governors are allowed to use state resources to contest election results in court, is detrimental to the democratic process and can potentially lead to financial abuse of state resources.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">HURIWA echoed the views of legal experts such as retired Justice Peter Ige of the Court of Appeal, proposing that the electoral process should be reformed to ensure that all legal disputes related to elections are resolved before the winners are sworn into office. This, according to the rights group, would pave the way for a more transparent and accountable electoral system. HURIWA suggested that incumbents temporarily hand over power to Chief Justices or Chief Judges, in the case of state governors, while election-related litigation is concluded.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAccording to Justice Ige, concluding the post-election matters before the winners are sworn in, would be of mutual benefit to all the stakeholders in the electoral process and adjudication. He also stated that pre-election matters should be concluded before the general elections\u201d.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Additionally, HURIWA recommended a two-tiered approach to handling election disputes, with the governorship and presidential polls being exclusively handled by the Appeal Court and Supreme Court, while other election-related matters are resolved at regular tribunals, terminating at the Appeal Court.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">HURIWA concluded by emphasizing the need for these reforms to promote fairness, transparency, and the rule of law in Nigeria\u2019s electoral processes just as it called on relevant authorities, including the National Assembly, to consider and implement these reforms to strengthen the nation\u2019s democracy and prevent the misuse of public resources for personal political gain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">HURIWA recalled the opinion of an observer whose position was widely canvassed by many voters spoken to by a team from HURIWA that was embedded with groups of accredited observersand reporters during the poll, this learned observer said that Nasarawa State People\u2019s Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate Hon. David Ombugadu, whom the State governorship elections petitions tribunal Monday declared winner of the March 18 governorship election in the state punctured the rigged results declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for Lafia Local Government Area to prove he indeed won the election.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As aforementioned, the election petition tribunal had on Monday ordered INEC to withdraw the certificate of return earlier awarded the All Progressives Party (APC) candidate, Abdullahi Sule, and.hand same over to Ombugadu.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">HURIWA learnt from the observer who preferred to remain anonymous that one of the most interesting witness\u2019 testimonies at the tribunal was how APC\u2019s A.A. Sule managed to poll 33,000 votes in Gayam and Ciroma wards in Lafia LGA when, according to INEC register, both wards had13,000 registered voters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThere were four major contenders for the 2023 Nasarawa governorship election. David Ombugadu of the PDP; Abdullahi Sule of the APC; Abdullahi Yakubu Maidoya of the New Nigeria People\u2019s\u2019 Party (NNPP), and Mustapha Abubakar of the Social Democratic Party (SDP). Of the quartet, Ombugadu was the only Christian.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Recall that 24 hours after the election (March 19, 2023), INEC promised to declare the result of the governorship poll at 9am the following day (March 20, 2023). However, the state returning officer Professor Tanko Ishaya, emerged five hours earlier than promised (4am) and declared APC\u2019s Sule winner. According to the INEC officer, APC\u2019s Sule polled 347,209 votes to defeat PDP\u2019s David Ombugadu he declared scored 283,016 votes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-6\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The INEC officer\u2019s declaration threw several citizens of the state into anger as many were expecting Ombugadu\u201ds declaration as winner since he was leading with a comfortable margin in 12 of the 13 LGAs announced at the time. Giving the breakdown for Lafia LGA, INEC said Sule polled 107, 213 votes against Ombugadu\u2019s 41, 494, a difference of 57,619 votes. This declaration has been legally invalidated.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has made an urgent appeal to the Independent and Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offenses Commission (ICPC) to conduct a thorough investigation&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":108208,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-108207","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
