Tension in Plateau over council poll
The inability of Plateau state government to swear-in Hon Joshua Lanven of the People’s Democratic Party as the elected chairman of Langtang North local government of Plateau is generating tension capable of disrupting peace in the locality.
The appeal tribunal in its judgement in July 2019 held that the PDP candidate was the true winner of the election and ordered for the swearing-in of the winner. The institution of a fresh case in a lower court after an appeal court of superior status has passed its judgement left people of the locality in shock and disbelief.
The group noted that tension is rising in the locality over what the people term political conspiracy by ruling APC to hoodwink them and rob them of leader of their choice. “We still believe strongly that there are men of integrity whose conscience is the highest authority in the Plateau State Judiciary.
