The speaker in a statement by his Press Secretary, Mr Bulus Atang, also urged to the appellant, Gen. Jeremiah Useni of the PDP, to accept the victory of the governor at the poll and the re-affirmation by the Supreme Court.
He described the Supreme Court judgement as reaffirmation of the overwhelming people’s mandate.
He said that the judgement had vindicated the governor and re-affirmed his declaration by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the duly elected governor of Plateau in the March 9, 2019 governorship election.
“The Supreme Court judgement is victory for democracy because it reflects the wishes and aspirations of the people.
“I am optimistic that the judgement will spur the governor to settle down in providing purposeful leadership and service delivery under his three-pillar policy thrust without any distractions,” he said.
