The Supreme Court in a landmark ruling on Friday, reinstated governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State, whose election was voided by the Court of Appeal.
The apex court, in a unanimous decision by a five-member panel of Justices, set aside the ruling of the appellate court, which sacked Muftwang of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and declared the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Mr Nentawe Goshwe as the valid winner of the last governorship election.
Justice Emmanuel Agim who delivered the judgment held that the appeal by the governor had merit.
