Plateau State House of Assembly might be thrown in confusion today, as the 16 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawmakers sacked by the Court of Appeal have vowed to resume sitting.
   
Addressing newsmen in Jos, yesterday, spokesperson for the group, Ishaku Maren, cautioned their All Progressives Congress (APC) colleagues, stating that the Supreme Court pronouncement had allegedly invalidated the verdict of the appellate court.
   
According to him, as law-abiding citizens, they are ready to resume work to represent the people that ‘duly’ elected them.  He said:  “As you can see, the 16 PDP members of the Plateau State House of Assembly are all here to address the press regarding our resumption of duty tomorrow (today) because our recess will be ending today (yesterday), and by tomorrow (today), we are resuming work in earnest, and we are confident to address the press by informing the general public that my members – that is PDP family members in the State Assembly  – are in high spirit, and are willing to return and continue with our constitutional duties willingly given to us  by the  electorate. So, we are all ready for the resumption of work tomorrow (today).
   
“You may recall that while we were in recess, there were two judgments regarding the status of the House of Assembly and Plateau State as a whole.”
 Maren added: “The first one was given by the Court of Appeal, where they said that one cannot put something on nothing; that the PDP in Plateau State had no structure, and it was on that premise that they sacked all the 16 PDP members. And lo and behold, as we were on recess, a superior court gave its own verdict regarding the same issue, and in the judgment of the Supreme Court, they said that the judgment that was brought before the Court of Appeal in its entirety was fraudulent, because the Court of Appeal lacked even the jurisdiction to entertain the entire matter.”
