Breaking: Court of Appeal Sacks Mutfwang as Plateau Governor, Returns APC’s Yilwatda
By Philip Pam, Jos
The Court of Appeal Abuja jurisdiction has nullified the election of Plateau state Governor Caleb Mutfwang, of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), for not being validly sponsored.
The Court in a consensus lead judgement, by Justice Williams-Dawodu, returned the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda, as the valid winner of the election.
It ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to withdraw the Certificate of Return from Mutfwang, and issue same to Dr. Yilwatda.
