The Appeal Court in Abuja has scheduled Saturday for the adoption in the governorship appeal brought by the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Nentawe Yilwatda, against Governor Caleb Mutfwang of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Governor Mutfwang was declared the winner of the March 18 governorship election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), a decision affirmed by the tribunal.
However, Yilwatda appealed the tribunal’s judgment, seeking a declaration as the winner. He argued that the PDP lacked structure and was not qualified to sponsor any candidate in the election.

The APC candidate also raised concerns about overvoting and noncompliance with the 2022 Electoral Act during the 2023 governorship election in the state.
The court, in the hearing notice, stated, “November 11, is for the adoption of briefs of the case.”
