How Religious Sentiment Almost Cost Me My Office – Nasarawa Gov
The Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule has explained how religious sentiment almost cost him his office, saying two Christian judges conspired to remove him from office.
Governor Sule made the disclosure in Abuja on Tuesday while speaking at the 2023 Peace and Development Submit for Young University Students.
The Governor in a video recalled that before the March 18 governorship election in Nasarawa, Bishop Abioye of Living Faith had called on Christians to vote for Christians only.
The governor claimed that the statement contributed to his sack by the tribunal.
He accused the judges of hinging the tribunal’s judgement on religious sentiments, instead of the facts presented before them.
“A lot of you must have read the tribunal ruling in our state when two of the judges, who are Christians, decided that a Christian won the election and one Muslim judge decided that it is the Muslim who won the election,” he said.
