Plateau Residents have rejected the Court of Appeal verdict that sacked the state governor, Caleb Mutfwang.
They called for the review of all the verdicts delivered by the Court of Appeal on the Plateau elections during a peaceful protest on Sunday.
Recall that the appellate court on Sunday set aside the judgement of the governorship election tribunal that upheld the election of Mutfwang as governor of the state.
The court declared Dr Nentawe Yilwatda of the All Progressives Congress (APC) winner of the governorship election and ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to issue a fresh certificate of return to him.
But Jos residents described the judgement on the governorship polls and other judgements of the Appeal Court on the Plateau elections as clear “injustice.”
Philemon Jangkam, the youth leader of Angwan Rukuba Junction, called on the National Judicial Council (NJC) to review all the judgements.
“We started noticing the injustice from the Court of Appeal judgements that sacked Representative Isaac Kwallu, Senator Simon Mwadkon, Representative Dachung Bagos, and other lawmakers.
“We, the youth of this community, are not happy, and we will not accept these judgements. We will continue to protest until this judgement and the ones that sacked our national assembly members are reviewed,” he said.
