Supreme Court Affirms Governor Mutfwang’s Election: President Tinubu Praised for Judicial Non-Interference
Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, expresses gratitude towards President Bola Tinubu for refraining from interference as the Supreme Court validates his election, overturning the Court of Appeal’s earlier ruling.
Background: Supreme Court Overturns Court of Appeal Decision
Following the Supreme Court’s reversal of the Court of Appeal’s verdict that removed the governor, Mutfwang acknowledges President Tinubu for respecting the judicial process despite being a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The PDP candidate had appealed the Court of Appeal’s ruling, which asserted that Muftwang was not the sponsored candidate of the PDP.
Supreme Court Justice’s Ruling: Evidence of Compliance with High Court Order
Justice Emmanuel Agim, delivering the judgment, clarifies that the High Court’s order was unrelated to the party’s authority to conduct primaries but rather to nominate Governor Mutfwang as its candidate.
The justice notes evidence of the party’s compliance with the High Court’s order.
Governor’s Appreciation: A Tribute to Judicial Independence
Governor Mutfwang expresses his appreciation on Channels TV’s Politics Today, acknowledging President Tinubu for allowing the Supreme Court justices to act independently and in accordance with their conscience and the law.
Quote from Governor Mutfwang:
“He allowed their lordships to do their work, and they did it according to the dictates of their conscience and the law. I am proud of that,” states Governor Mutfwang, emphasizing the importance of upholding judicial autonomy.
