Governor Sacking Spree, PDP and APC Clash
Governor Sacking Spree, PDP and APC Clash…..
Tensions flared between the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Sunday following the Court of Appeal’s decision to sack Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State. The court, in a judgment delivered by a three-member panel led by Justice Elphreda Williams-Dawodu, ordered the withdrawal of Mutfwang’s certificate of return and directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to issue a fresh one to Nentawe Goshwe of the APC, declared as the valid winner of the March 18 governorship election.

This development marked the third opposition governor to be ousted by the Court of Appeal within three days, heightening political tensions and sparking a clash of words between the PDP and APC. The appellate court’s decision to nullify Governor Dauda Lawal’s election in Zamfara State last Thursday added to the growing list of political upheavals.
The swift succession of these rulings underscores the volatility within the political landscape, with both major parties grappling to assert dominance. The PDP, now facing the loss of two governors within days, expressed its discontent with the judicial outcomes, questioning the string of decisions that have overturned electoral victories.
The APC, on the other hand, welcomed the court’s decision in Plateau State, hailing the judiciary for what they view as a commitment to upholding the sanctity of the electoral process. The clash between the two parties is indicative of the broader power struggles and political maneuvering that characterize Nigeria’s dynamic political scene.
As the legal battles unfold, there are concerns about the stability of governance in states affected by these decisions. The impact on the affected regions, as well as the political implications for both the PDP and APC, will likely be closely scrutinized in the coming weeks. The legal disputes surrounding gubernatorial elections serve as a reminder of the intricate interplay between the judiciary and the political sphere in shaping the course of Nigerian governance.
