The Plateau State House of Assembly resumes plenary today. The 16 lawmakers elected on the platform of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) had said they would resume their legislative duties despite their sack by the Court of Appeal.

In November, the Court of Appeal in Abuja sacked the 16 PDP lawmakers because the party had no structure to nominate them as candidates.

Addressing a press conference in Jos, the lawmakers, led by a former Majority Leader, Yobo Ishaku, argued that since the Supreme Court, which upheld the election of the state governor, Caleb Mutfwang, on the same issue, had ruled that the PDP had a valid structure to nominate them as candidates, the verdict of the Appeal Court sacking them as lawmakers had become a nullity.

Ishaku, who represented Bokkos State Constituency, explained their decision to resume plenary.

They called on President Bola Tinubu and the heads of the Nigerian judiciary to sanction the President of the Court of Appeal, under whose watch the alleged illegality was committed.
