About three weeks after the controversial local government elections in Plateau State, the Peoples Democratic Party on Saturday said it had lined up 20 lawyers, including Senior Advocates of Nigeria, to challenge irregularities at the Local Government Election Appeals Tribunal.
The PDP alleged that officials of the Plateau State Independent Electoral Commission deceived party agents with telephone calls only to disappear to Jos and announce the results in favour of the All Progressives Congress.
The Legal Adviser to the PDP in Plateau State, Binchen Jantur, who stated this in an interview, alleged that the government could not even have pity on a cripple and the PDP chairmanship candidate in the Mangu Local Government Area, Ayuba Gofwen Burki, who, it claimed, won the election.
