If documents are unlawfully allowed by a trial court, the appellate court is duty-bound to exclude the documents and discountenance the evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The appellate court proceeded to strike out all the evidence and exhibits that were tendered before the tribunal by the eight witnesses.<\/p>\n<p>It held that the evidence of 12 remaining witnesses who testified for the PDP candidate was not sufficient to sustain the judgment of the tribunal.<\/p>\n<p>More so, the appellate court held that the tribunal was in error when it deducted a total of 1,868 votes that were credited to Governor Sule on the premise that over-voting occurred in four polling units.<\/p>\n<p>It held that the tribunal was wrong in its decision since the petitioners did not provide the necessary documents needed to prove over-voting.<\/p>\n<p>The court noted that the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System, BVAS, machines, and other electoral documents were merely dumped on the tribunal without any demonstration to show how the over-voting occurred.<\/p>\n<p>It faulted the tribunal for summarily dismissing the evidence of witnesses that testified for the APC candidate, describing the action as \u201cperverse\u201d, adding that none of the witnesses that were called by the PDP and its candidate gave valid evidence that the tribunal could have acted on.<\/p>\n<p>It held that the tribunal acted wrongly when it recomputed votes and made the declaration that returned the PDP candidate as the winner of the election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the whole, I hold that this appeal has merit and succeeds; the majority judgment of the tribunal delivered on October 2 is hereby dismissed,\u201d the court held.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, it vacated the order of the tribunal that directed the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to withdraw the Certificate of Return that was issued to Governor Sule as the winner of the governorship contest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The appellate court, in a unanimous decision by a three-member panel of justices, voided the verdict of the Nasarawa State Governorship
