Langtang North – Obey court order, Reinstate Laven, APC’s Lawyer Garba Pwul(SAN) Advises Lalong.

Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Garba Pwul, has advised Plateau State Government of Barr. Simon Bako Lalong to reinstate Hon Joshua Laven Ubandoma as Executive Chairman Lantang Local Government Council based on rule of law.

Responding to journalists’ questions concerning the continuous political injustice on the people of Langtang North Local Government Council, where the State Governor, Simon Bako Lalong, remains adamant on the issue despite Court rulings by imposing the APC’s Zulfa Bitrus Rimven as the Council Chairman on the people.

This act according to the legal luminary, “ against Court orders, Lalong needs to sack the imposter” Pwul said “it is good to respect the rule of law and every responsible citizen, especially in a civilised democracy, should respect the rule of law.”

“Therefore, the Courts that gave judgement against the sacked chairman should invoke and deploy the appropriate mechanism to enforce the judgement, because it is not always left to the person against whom the judgement was given to enforce the judgement”.

Garba Pwul pointed that, there are consequences for disobeying court orders while he advised the lawyers who got the judgement in favour of their clients to take steps to explore the relevant mechanisms available in the court to enforce the judgement and end the injustice in Langtang North, because it is subsisting at a huge cost to the innocent people of the area.

Pwul reminded lawyers that “you don’t get judgement and go to bed. You have to work to enforce it.”

Recalled how two valid judgements by courts competent jurisdiction had dismissed the Chairmanship claim of Hon. Zulfa Bitrus Rimven of the All Progressive Congress (APC) on Lantang North LGC.

These judgements were passed by High Court sitting in Jos which declared Joshua Ubandoma Laven of the PDP as the rightful chairman of the Council, saying, “there was no vacancy for the position of Chairman in Langtang North when the last local government elections were conducted”. While, the second judgement by a High Court sitting in Langtang North which also ruled that,“ there was no primary election in Langtang North that produced Zulfa Bitrus Rimven as APC’s candidate for the councils polls”.
