Plateau chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) said it accepts the Supreme Court judgement that affirmed Governor Caleb Mutfwang, as the winner of the March 18, 2023, election in good faith.
The Apex Court on Friday, reversed the November 19, decision of the Appeal Court.
The Court nullified Mutwang’s election and declared Dr Nentawe Yilwatda as the winner of the election.
Sylvanus Namang, APC Publicity Secretary in Plateau, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Jos, that the party accepts the verdict in the spirit of sportsmanship.
Namang said that the contest was not personal, but a tussle between two political parties in the interest of Plateau people.

He urged them to avoid anything that could jeopardise peace and peaceful coexistence of the Plateau people.
Namang said that APC believes in maintaining decorum and peace at all times, no matter the situation.
“Our party is a respecter of the rule of law and a strong believer in our judicial system, hence, we take the outcome in good faith,’’ he said.
