Plateau gov heads for Supreme Court, says sacking temporary setback

Plateau State Governor,  Caleb  Mutfwang, has described the verdict of the  Court of Appeal that nullified his election as a temporary setback that will not deter him from repositioning the state on the path of unity, peace, and progress.

He expressed optimism that the mandate given to him by the people of the state would be restored, as he has instructed his legal team to file an appeal at the Supreme Court.

Mutfwang, in a statement on Sunday, urged citizens of the state and supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party to remain calm and assured them that as long as God remains on the throne, the mandate of the people will be preserved and protected.

He reiterated his commitment to the rule of law and assured the people that there will be light at the end of the tunnel, as he has unwavering faith in the judiciary and the constitution of Nigeria.

Mutfwang urged his supporters, as well as citizens of the state, to maintain law and order.

He affirmed that the state will be victorious to the glory of God and reassured of his commitment to continually to serve the state with dedication and integrity.
