Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Coalition of Middle Belt Groups has issued a public apology to House of Representatives member, Hon. Yusuf Gagdi, retracting their earlier accusation that he influenced the Court of Appeal judgements on Plateau State elections.<\/p>\n

The group blamed the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for misleading them and distorting facts.<\/p>\n

Dr. Ben Omale, the convener of the group, clarified that their initial position was based on a hasty interpretation of a video, acknowledging that Gagdi\u2019s statement was misconstrued.<\/p>\n

After thorough scrutiny of evidence, the group admitted that their earlier stance did not reflect the reality on the ground.<\/p>\n

Omale expressed regret over the Coalition\u2019s reliance on a single narrative propagated by the PDP, emphasizing the importance of considering both sides of the story before taking a stand<\/p>\n

The group apologized to Gagdi for the misleading press conference and its potential impact on his reputation in Plateau state and the country.<\/p>\n

The Coalition called out the PDP for a \u201csinister plot\u201d to cause disaffection in the polity, urging them to desist from campaigns against the judiciary.<\/p>\n

They emphasized Gagdi\u2019s exoneration from any involvement or influence in the Court of Appeal rulings on Plateau State elections.<\/p>\n
