There is a heavy presence of security personnel at the Niger State Judiciary Complex Minna where the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal is expected to deliver judgment.

The verdict follows a suit filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate Umar Nasko challenging the victory of Governor Abubakar Bello of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the recently held governorship election.

The petitioners had alleged that Governor Bello submitted forged certificates to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). They also alleged that the governorship election was marred with irregularities.
