Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has called for justice and fairness for all the Peoples Democratic Party’s lawmakers in the state whose elections were nullified by the Court of Appeal.
The governor spoke on ThurMutfwang sday in Abuja during his visit to the Executive Secretary, Tertiary Education Trust Fund, Mr Sonny Echono.
The Supreme Court last week reversed the judgment of the Court of Appeal, which earlier sacked Mutfwang.
The Plateau PDP lawmakers were sacked by the Court of Appeal on the same basis that it sacked the governor.
In the light of the Supreme Court judgment, Mutfwang called for fairness in the lawmakers’ case.
The Court of Appeal is the final court for the determination of electoral cases for lawmakers.
Speaking to a journalist on Thursday in Abuja, Mutfwang said, “We are particularly grateful for the concerns Nigerians have shown. At the moment there is no clear-cut answer to the question but I can tell you that discussions are ongoing.
“So, it is a work in progress. And when we are done, I am sure Nigerians will get to know the path we have chosen to take.
“At the end of it, this concern for justice is well noted and I pray that it becomes one of the values of our national existence.
“If in every facet of life, we insist on justice, fairness and equity I believe Nigeria will become a great country,” he said.
