Barrister Sunday Odey, a member of the PDP’s legal team, confirmed the scheduled judgment date in Jos on Wednesday, stating, “Yes, it is true. The ruling of the governorship tribunal in the case between the PDP and the APC has been fixed for Friday, September 22, 2023.”
In the initial election, Governor Caleb Mutfwang, representing the PDP, was declared the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) after securing 525,299 votes, surpassing Dr. Nentawe Yiltwatda of the APC, who received 481,370 votes.
It’s worth noting that the tribunal had previously dismissed a petition brought by the governorship candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party, Alfred Dabwan, who sought to invalidate the election due to the alleged exclusion of his party’s logo on the ballot by INEC.

Total War In Football: UEFA, AFC, And Concacaf Unleash Blistering ‘Deception’ Attack On FIFA!.
In a joint open letter released on August 10, UEFA, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), and Concacaf launched a scathing critique against FIFA and its president, Gianni Infantino, accusing them of breaking the trust of football institutions through deception.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The Core Dispute: The FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE)
The controversy centers around FIFA’s abandoned FFE proposal, which aimed to establish a new company to manage the commercial and ticketing rights of FIFA competitions—including the World Cup—with a 21 percent stake intended for sale to a private investment firm. The plan was ultimately scrapped following heavy backlash and boycott threats led by UEFA.
While FIFA previously defended itself by condemning efforts to “undermine” leadership and announced an internal review to report to the FIFA Council in October, the three confederations rejected this approach. They argued that proper governance demands an independent third-party investigation rather than a self-review by FIFA staff or stakeholders.
Governance and Lack of Consultation
The three bodies emphasized that the dispute is not financially motivated, but rather concerns institutional integrity, power execution, and stakeholder consultation. They criticized FIFA for pushing the FFE proposal through a compressed timeline designed to avoid proper scrutiny, pointing out that a leadership meeting in Morocco regarding the matter lacked participation from Member Associations or FIFA Council members, featuring only FIFA-employed senior staff.
Concluding their letter with a call for accountability, the confederations urged the global football community to honor unity and demand leadership that serves the game rather than commanding it.
