Plateau Assembly: APC Now Has ‘Majority Of Seats’ As Court Sacks 11 PDP Lawmakers In One Fell Swoop
APC has taken control of the Plateau state House of Assembly following the development recorded on Friday.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned that the Court of Appeal , Abuja has sacked 11 PDP lawmakers in one fell swoop.
In the judgment delivered by Justice Okon Abang, the Appeal Court held that all the sacked lawmakers had gotten wasted votes because their party lacked structure as at the time the 2023 general election was held.
The PDP , the court noted, had violated section 177 of the 1999 constitution, hence could not have sponsored candidates for the elections in question.
The second runners- up in the March 18 House of Assembly election, the APC candidates, were consequently declared as real winners.
Those sacked as state lawmakers are; Hon Timothy Dantong (Riyom), Hon. Rimyat Nanbol (Langtang North Central), Moses Sule (Mikang), Salome Waklek (Pankshin), Hon. Bala Fwangji (Mangu South), Hon. Maren Ishaku (Bokkos), Hon. Dagogot (Quaanpan North) and Nannim Langyi (Langtang North North).
Others are Nimchak Rims (Langtang South) Hon. Danjuma Azi (Jos North West) Gwottson Fom (Jos South) and Hon. Abubakar Sani idris (Mangu North) respectively-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us? Do you want us to cover your event or programme?
