The Appeal Court sitting in Abuja has fixed Saturday for adoption in the governorship appeal by the candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, against Governor Caleb Mutfwang of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Mutfwang winner of the March 18 governorship election in the state. The tribunal had also affirmed his victory.

But the APC candidate appealed the tribunal judgement and asked the appellate court to declare him winner on the grounds that the PDP lacked structure and was not qualified to sponsor any candidate in an election.

The APC candidate also told the Appellate court in his notice of appeal that there was over voting and noncompliance with the 2022 Electoral Act during the 2023 governorship election in the state.

In the hearing notice of the case sighted by our correspondent, the court said, “November 11, is for the adoption of briefs of the case.”

Our correspondent reports that the Appeal Court had recently sacked all PDP lawmakers in the National Assembly from the state on the ground that PDP doesn’t have structure and therefore not qualified to sponsor candidates in an election following what it described as refusal to conduct congresses from ward to state leaves as ordered by a Jos High Court since 2021.
