Ahead of the supreme court judgment, Advocate Women for Justice (AWJ), Nasarawa State, has appealed for justice from the judges of the Supreme Court on the governorship judgement dispute in the state.
In a protest which was in continuation of the agitation for justice by the group since March 18 when the governorship election result was announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
One of the protester, Mrs Hanatu John said they believed that justice would be served in the governorship dispute of Nasarawa State given the courageous judgments on the cases of Kano and Plateau states on Friday, January 11.
We are appealing to judges not to succumb to pressure by anybody because doing so will destroy the name and reputation you people build for yourselves over the years.
She also commended the judges over their landmark judgments on the governorship disputes in Kano, Plateau, and other states and appealed that the same principle be replicated in Nasarawa State.
Last hope
Also, Jamilatu Hussaini, said the judges of the Supreme Court in their recent judgments had proven that the judiciary was indeed the last hope of the common man.
She said they should use the same principle where only the candidate with the popular votes and the highest number of votes would be declared as winner.
“Doing so will ensure that justice is properly served and would also restore the confidence of the people in the electoral process,” she stated.
Again, Charity Samuel said that she is trusting God the justice served to the people of Kano and Plateau states would not be the last.
She said that the judges would also ensure justice for the people of Nasarawa State so that peace, unity, and development would return to the state.
It could be recalled that Mr David Ombugadu, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was challenging the announcement of Gov. Abdullahi Sule of All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the March 18 governorship election.
