He called on the state governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang to use his good office in uniting the people and allowing for demcratic rule to take place in the state.

He urged the speaker to swear in the new members without delay “Since the Appellate Court had reaffirmed them as the authentic winners of the election”.

Recall in January 2024, the speaker said he would not swear in the new members until the court’s verdict on the suit filed by the sacked 16 PDP lawmakers.

The PDP lawmakers have have aggrieved ever since they were axed by the Appellate Court in what was later considered as an erroneous judgement based on on the Supreme Court’s decision on similar matters.

However, their latest efforts to have the judgement reviewed yielded no fruit.
