Appeal Court Sacks Plateau Gov, Declares APC’s Goshwe Winner of Governorship Election 

Alex Enumah in Abuja Abuja

The Court of Appeal in Abuja has sacked Caleb Mutfwang of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the Governor of Plateau State.

The sack was predicated on the grounds that he was not validly sponsored by his party, the PDP, hence was not qualified to have contested the election.

After nullifying the victory of PDP and Mutfwang, the appellate court then ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to withdraw the certificate of return earlier issued the governor and issue a fresh one to the appellants, Nentawe Goshwe of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
