Confusion by the judiciary is a very bad precedent for our country.The 16 lawmakers sacked by the court of appeal because they had no valid structure on the existence of their victory, have vowed to return to the plenary. The Court of Appeal in Abuja had in November 2023 sacked all the 16 members of the state House of Assembly elected on the platform of the PDP because the party had no structure to nominate them as candidates.

CONFUSION BY THE JUDICIARY IF AM TO SAY IN MY THOUGHT.
Addressing a press conference in Jos, on Monday, the 16 lawmakers, led by a former Majority Leader, Yobo Ishaku, said since the Supreme Court, which upheld the election of Governor Caleb Mutfwang on the same issue had ruled that the PDP had a valid structure to nominate them as candidates, they blamed the confusion by the judiciary on Appeal court judges who declared their seats vacant. Confusion by the judiciary
Hear him speak,
“Our recess ends today (Monday) and we want to inform the public that we the
The PDP family is in high spirits and is willing to go back to our legislative duties willingly given to us by our various constituencies. So, we are all ready to resume work tomorrow (Tuesday)While we were on recess, there were two judgments passed regarding the Plateau State House of Assembly. The first one was the one given by the Court of Appeal, of which the Justices said one could not put something on nothing; PDP on the Plateau had no structure and it was on that basis and premise that they sacked all the 16 PDP House of Assembly members.
“And while we were still on recess, the Supreme Court gave its verdict regarding the same issue and in the judgment, the Supreme Court said the case that was brought before the Court of Appeal was fraudulent and that the court even lacked the jurisdiction to entertain the matter in the first place. And by that, it shows that referring to their submission, you cannot build something on nothing. By implication, the verdict of the Court of Appeal is a nullity and we are disregarding that judgment in its entirety.
Our constituents are ready and willing to accompany us to our sitting tomorrow because they voted for us and they are not ready to compromise that.”
APC lawmakers said the plan and threats by the sacked members to resume was not only an assault on democracy but an insurrection against the state.
They said,
“It has come to the notice of the Plateau State chapter of the APC, a plan by the 16 members of the PDP sacked by the Court of Appeal last year to invade the House, which resumes sitting tomorrow (Tuesday) after nearly two months recess as sitting members of the Plateau State House of Assembly. “According to information reaching us, the members sat at an undisclosed location and addressed the press on their invidious and diabolical plan.

APC LASHING OUT AT THESE SACKED PDP MEMBERS.
“According to information at our disposal, the sacked members would be accompanied by members of their various constituencies to confuse an unimaginable proportion.
“The press conference, which was laced with threats, warned the APC members of the House not to go near the House of Assembly because the Supreme Court had invalidated the judgment of the Court of Appeal which sacked them.
“What began last week as a veiled threat by a former Speaker of the Plateau State House of Assembly, Istifanus Mwansat, during his infamous interview with AIT is fast becoming a reality.
“The APC and all peace-loving citizens of Plateau State had expected that he ought not to be walking the streets as a free citizen following his inflammatory outbursts.
“The APC accepted for the sake of democracy and peaceful coexistence, the judgment of the Supreme Court in good fate and appealed to our members not to embark on anything to the contrary which they obeyed.
