Governor Abdullahi Sule of the All Progressives Congress (APC) had filed an appeal against the verdict of the tribunal which sacked him and declared David Ombugadu of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) as winner of the election.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Sule winner of the governorship election but Ombugadu headed for the court.
