The Plateau chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has congratulated John Dafaan over his victory at the Court of Appeal as the member-elect for Shendam/Qua’an-Pan/Mikang Federal Constituency.
The Court of Appeal in Abuja on Friday nullified the election of Rep Isaac Kwallu of PDP and declared Dafaan as winner.
APC, in a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Mr Sylvanus Namang, on Tuesday in Jos, described Dafaan’s victory as well deserved.
Namang said that APC had confidence in Dafaan, the former Chief of Staff to ex-Gov. Simon Lalong, to offer quality representation to his constituents.
He lauded the appeal court judgment and described it as a landmark victory.
“This fair, firm and unanimous decision of the court has, indeed, portrayed the judiciary as a hallowed temple of justice.
“Its stand is a deft move towards protecting and preserving the integrity and independence of the judiciary.
“This is in spite of mischievous attempts in some quarters to put the judiciary on a needless social media trial through several ill-motivated smear campaigns.
“The judgment is unprecedented, sound and historic in all ramifications.
“To say the least, the judgment is a page-turning development in the annals of our jurisprudence, as the judges have stood very strong and tall in their decisions, regardless of all the innuendos and blackmails,” he stressed.
