The attention of APC in Plateau State has been drawn to a deliberate misinterpretation of the recent Supreme Court judgement allowing the State Gubernatorial Election Tribunal to make use of the evidence of the PDP and its candidate in the last election despite the fact that the witness was not listed among those to testify as required by law.

 

The state secretary Bashiru Musa-Sati Esq statement called on supporters of the APC to disregard such insinuation as baseless rumour .

 

This does not mean any victory to PDP or its candidate at the Tribunal as some overzealous elements bent on misleading their supporters are speculating.

 

It only means the statement of that PDP witness will be considered and our lawyers be allowed to cross examine him on his testimony to test its veracity. So there is no course for any concern.

 

With this we call on our teaming supporters and good people of Plateau State to remain calm and law abiding as their mandate is still intact and nothing will temper with it by the Grace of God.

 

We remain confident of victory at the Tribunal which will serve as added tonic for the APC and Lalong administration to continue the good work we have been doing in putting our dear state back on the map of first generation states in the country.

 

The Supreme Court of Nigeria yesterday granted the prayers of the Legal Team for PDP and its Governorship candidate in the 2019 general elections, Gen. Senator Jeremiah Useni.

 

The Legal Team had challenged the judgment of the Court of Appeal Jos which overruled the decision of the lower Tribunal allowing Petitioners witnesses who were not listed in the Petition to testify during the trial.

 

The Supreme Court also dismissed the preliminary objections raised by Lalong and APC.

 

This judgment is to be served on the 3-man Tribunal before they deliver their final judgment on or before the 9th of October, 2019.
