We accept judgment upholding Mutfwang’s victory in good faith: APC
The Plateau chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) says it accepts the Supreme Court judgment that affirmed Governor Caleb Mutfwang as the winner of the March 18, 2023, election in good faith.
On Friday, the Apex court reversed the November 19 decision of the Appeal Court that nullified Mr Mutfwang’s election and declared Nentawe Yilwatda as the winner.
Sylvanus Namang, APC publicity secretary in Plateau, told journalists in Jos that the party accepts the verdict in the spirit of sportsmanship.
Mr Namang said the contest was not personal but a tussle between two political parties in the interest of the Plateau people.
The publicity secretary called on APC members and supporters to remain law-abiding and refrain from any act contrary to the party’s culture.
He urged them to avoid anything that could jeopardise peace and peaceful coexistence on the Plateau.
Mr Namang said APC believes in maintaining decorum and peace, no matter the situation.
“Our party is a respecter of the rule of law and a strong believer in our judicial system; hence, we take the outcome in good faith,” he said.
