The Supreme Court has affirmed Barrister Caleb Mutfwang (PDP) as duly elected and returned as Governor of Plateau State in the 18th March Governorship poll.

The tribunal had unanimously affirmed Gov Mutfwang as Governor upon the petition of the APC Candidate, Goshwe Yilwatda Nentawe.

However, the Court of Appeal upturned the judgement and sacked the Governor, following a lack of structure at the State Executive Committee level of the Party.

Gov Mutfwang approached the Apex Court who held:
Plateau state high court order can’t affect PDP primaries because primaries is conducted by National Executive Committee of the Party not state.

The court of Appeal lacked the jurisdiction to hear the issue of nomination.

Issue 2 resolved in favour of PDP. They lacked locus standi in the internal affairs of another party.

Issue 3, whether judgment in Bitrus Kaze can stop the nec of the party from conducting primaries.

The Apex Court also had very harsh words for the Appeal Court for dabbling into matters it had no Jurisdiction over.

This is the man that the masses massively voted for. It's been upheld.
Meanwhile, "The Apex Court also had very harsh words for the Appeal Court for dabbling into matters it had no Jurisdiction over."...

Damn. I'm beginning to have some hope in Tinubu. Betta Edu's suspension and the Supreme Court verdicts affirming first Abba Gida-Gida and now Mutfwang...It's unbelievable.

Oti lo bayen.

What Supreme Court did is to return all governors back. That is fair enough.

Unless the rigging is so apparent, it’ll be foolish for Supreme Court to continue to remove sitting governors on allegation of their party primaries and etc.

Nigeria of the more you see, the less you understand. Don't be fooled, Tinubu and APC know what they are doing. Now the rubbish done to the other PDP by the lower court which can not be undone even with the knowledge that it was a sham, a miscarriage of justice as confirmed by the supreme court

Nigerian politicians are nothing but greedy, selfish mofos sad!!

I tell you, whether APCheat or PDP, what they're primarily after is the power and unending money that comes with it angry! The killings, maims, destructions, etc happening around in their states are not really important to them angry!!!

This one is the shocking of all the cases!

If Supreme Court can affirm his election..then, parties will begin to advocate for NASS elections litigations to get to Supreme Court..

Because, all NASS elections were lost by the PDP
