The Plateau State House of Assembly faces tension as the 16 lawmakers elected under the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), recently sacked by the Court of Appeal, declare their intention to resume legislative duties. The PDP lawmakers argue that the Supreme Court’s ruling, validating the party’s structure for their candidacy, renders the Court of Appeal’s verdict null and void. Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress (APC) condemns the move, deeming it an “invitation to anarchy and a threat to democracy.” The APC insists the PDP lawmakers remain sacked under the law, heightening concerns over potential unrest.
