Plateau State Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang has urged the Supreme Court to uphold his election.
He said of eight issues distilled before the Court of Appeal, only one was determined and others were untouched.
He said the decision of the Court of Appeal was contrary to the directive of the Supreme Court that intermediate courts should pronounce on all issues placed before it.
He said since he was not given a fair hearing by the Appellate Court, its decision to nullify his election as governor was manifestly flawed.
Mutfwang, who made the submission in his brief at the Supreme Court by an eight-man team of Senior Advocates of Nigeria, said: “The law is settled that wherever there is a wrong, there must be a remedy.”
A three-member tribunal on September 22, 2023, unanimously upheld the election of Governor Mutfwang.
But the Court of Appeal on November 19 sacked the governor and declared the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, as the winner.
The apex court, has fixed Tuesday for hearing in the matter.
