In a quest for justice, Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, contests the Court of Appeal’s decision, alleging an unfair hearing that disregarded critical issues.

Mutfwang, represented by legal luminary Kanu Agabi, SAN, asserts that only one out of eight presented points validating his election was addressed, contrary to the Supreme Court’s directive.

Mutfwang argues that the Court of Appeal failed to adhere to the Supreme Court’s directive, which mandates all issues presented to be addressed, not just a selective few.

The petition highlights the denial of fair hearing, emphasizing that crucial points, including a Notice of Preliminary Objection and a Motion to strike out certain grounds of appeal, were not adequately considered.

Mutfwang’s legal team urges the Supreme Court to dismiss the judgment of the Court of Appeal, citing flaws in the lower court’s decision-making process.

Invoking Section 22 of the Supreme Court Act, the appellant requests the Supreme Court to uphold the Notice of Preliminary Objection and strike out specific grounds of appeal raised by the respondents.

The plea underscores the perceived injustice caused by the lower court’s judgment and calls for a fair assessment by the Supreme Court.

Mutfwang argues that the issue of nomination and sponsorship falls within the internal affairs of the 4th Respondent, questioning the standing of the 1st and 2nd Respondents to challenge it.

Asserting compliance with state congress procedures, the appellant challenges the lower court’s reliance on contested evidence, pointing to alleged flaws in testimonies.

Mutfwang’s legal team contends that the 1st and 2nd Respondents failed to meet the burden of proof, particularly in claiming victory for an election they initially impugned.
