16 Sacked Plateau State PDP Lawmakers Threaten To Resume Plenary

Published

on

A fresh political crisis is emerging in Plateau State, as 16 members of the state House of Assembly who were removed by the Court of Appeal have pledged to return to the House despite court rulings that annulled their elections.

The Appeal Court dismissed the 16 members on the grounds that their party lacked the framework to sponsor candidates in the previous general elections.

The fired lawmakers stated this on Monday at a news event in Jos, the state capital.

Led by Ishaku Maren, the sacked lawmakers argued that the Supreme Court judgment, which validated the election of Governor Caleb Mutfwang, had also qualified them to remain members of the Assembly.

The lawmakers said they would resume the House on Tuesday when the House is expected to reconvene from the two-month recess.

Governor Mutfwang had on Friday, after visiting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, told State House correspondents that both political and legal solutions were being explored to address the alleged injustice meted out to the PDP lawmakers sacked by the Court of Appeal.
