Member Representating Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam Federal Constituency in Plateau State, Mr. Yusuf Gagdi has hailed Governor-elect, Dr. Nentawe Yilwada Goshwe for his success at the Court of Appeal.

The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja on Sunday nullified the election of Mr. Caleb Mutfwang as the Governor of Plateau State

Nullifying the election of Mutfwang of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, the appellate court led by Justice Okong Abang, in a unanimous judgment, ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to withdraw his Certificate of Return and give it to the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate, APC, Dr. Nentawe Yiltwatda Goshwe.

In a statement in Abuja, Gagdi, who is also the Chairman House of Representives Commitee on Navy, described the development as the beginning of a new era in the state, expressing confidence in his ability to promote development, prosperity and serenity.

The statement reads, “The triumph of lies over truth is indeed fleeting!

“It is the dawn of a new era in Plateau State with the victory of our Governor-Elect, Dr Nentawe Yilwada Goshwe at the Court of Appeal today, where his victory was affirmed as the legally recognized winner of the March 18, 2023 gubernatorial election in Plateau State, following the nullification of PDP’s victory.

“We have always indulged our teeming supporters to exercise restraint in their conduct, despite unwarranted provocation by our political opponents who unleashed all weapons of propaganda and emotional blackmail in their arsenals to sway the pendulum of justice and curry public sympathy in their desperation to hold unto power.

“Our believe in the judiciary as the bastion of justice and the last hope of the common man has always been unwavering, and we hold same in the highest esteem as we look forward to approaching the final phase of the legal tussle.

“While I call on all APC supporters to be magnanimous in victory and celebrate this milestone with all sense of modesty, it is my fervent prayer that our joys shall never be cut short by the evil machinations of our adversaries.

“I strongly believe the prosperity and serenity of Plateau State shall leap in bounds under the guidance of Dr Nentawe Yilwada Goshwe as the Executive Governor of the State. We shall continue to pray for the success of your administration”.
