The Plateau State Chairman of the All Progressive Congress APC, Hon. Rufus Bature, made this known in a press conference which held today 5th April, 2024 at the State Party Secretariat Kalwa House Jos the Plateau State capital, stated that the party frown in totality the kind of selective inauguration of 9 out of 16 members that won their case at the appeal court today by the Speaker Rt. Hon. Gabriel Dewan.

He said the party will seat and look at the issues very critical and sanction whoever is found wanting over this issue.
Hon Bature also stated that they as a party frown at turning democracy into an authoritarian under the Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang’s PDP, because any democracy without legislatures is an anarchy.
He said, with what has just happened today, the PDP Government under the same Governor Caleb Manasseh whom is also the product of democracy is trying so hard to render democracy into useless.
He said if the Plateau must move forward, the right thing need to be seen done.
Hon. Bature urged Governor Mutfwang to look at Plateau as his first constituency and not as PDP constituency, by requesting the Speaker to immediately swear-in the remaining 7 members.
The State APC Chairman also condemned the rumoured extension of tenure for the Caretaker Committee Chairmen.
He said the issues of Transition Committee is not something to be debated for because the Supreme Court which is the highest Court in the land has already made its pronouncement that the Governors has no right or power to remove any elected official at the third tier of the Government.
