The special Adviser to the governor of Nasarawa state on Works and Housing, Engineer Moses Utondo has commended the Appeal Court judgment upholding the victory of Abdulahi Sule in the March 18, 2023 governorship election in Nasarawa state.
The Appeal Court, sitting in Abuja had earlier on Thursday okayed the appeal filed by Governor Abdulahi Sule to set aside judgement of the tribunal which declared Dr David Ombugadu of the People’s Democratic Party as the governor.
The appeal court ruled in favour of Governor Abdulahi Sule as the duly-elected governor of the state.
Speaking to MoneyCentral on the judgment Monday in Lafia, Engr. Utondo commended the verdict. He said the victory was for the people of the state.
Utondo who described governor Sule as the people’s choice, said that APC had come to stay in the state.
”I am not surprised with the court judgment. Going to court by some people is just a mere distraction to the people of Nasarawa and our dear governor.
”We must always remember that power belongs to God and He chooses whoever He wishes to become a leader. I believe God has chosen Governor Abdulahi Sule for Nasarawa State.
”Let me tell you, APC has come to stay in the state and we are going to witness the change we desired,” he said.
The political leader of Tiv nation in Nasarawa state called on the people of the state, especially the opposition parties, to come together to build a better state.
He commended the appeal court judgment, calling residents to unite to move the state forward. Utondo sued for more peaceful coexistence among political parties in the state.
He urged the people of the state to continue to support the governor, as the victory was not oy for APC but for the entire residents.
