The sacking of Caleb Muftwang as the governor of Plateau state by the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja on Sunday, November 19, is generating mixed reactions on social media.
Legit.ng reports that the appellate court voided the election of Mutfwang of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the governor of Plateau state.
A three-member panel of the court, led by Justice Elphreda Williams-Dawodu, ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to withdraw the certificate of return issued to Mutfwang and issue a fresh one to Nentawe Goshwe of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who the court declared as the valid winner of the March 18 governorship election.
Plateau: Nigerians react to appeal court’s verdict
Nigerians on X, formerly Twitter, are reacting to the verdict on the Plateau state governorship election.
Weyimi B. Lube, @_weyimi, said:
“Just like that, Caleb Muftwang, the Plateau state governor, was sacked and APC declared APC candidate winner.”This is a clear sign that APC is slowly converting Nigeria into a one-party system. APC will use the court to achieve that goal.”Welcome to the New Nigeria!”
Mallam jabir, @Mallam_jabeer, said:
“APC is using the judiciary to go against the will of the people. They used the judiciary to sack the Kano State Governor.”They used the judiciary to sack the Zamfara state governor, and now they used the same method to sack the Governor of Plateau State.”Surely, their end is near because they’re pushing people to the wall.”
