The Coalition of Middle Belt Groups has cautioned politicians in the country against the plot to destabilise Plateau state through court judgements.

Speaking with reporters in Abuja on Thursday, Ben Omale, convener of the group, said it is expedient to draw the attention of Nigerians to the :accelerating efforts by anti-democratic forces to destabilise Plateau state”.

Omale condemned recent rulings by the court of appeal that sacked some Plateau lawmkers of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from the national assembly.

“Such commendations of the decision of the court that sacked the Plateau PDP lawmakers are emanating from the beneficiaries of the judgement, viz the All Progressives Congress (APC), particularly the Plateau state chapter,” he said.

“Other non-APC members that have commended the perceived injustice against democracy are people who do not have the benefit of the full details of the fundamentals at play.

“Our belief is that people in this category and other Nigerians should be made aware of the dangerous script playing out in Plateau State, which has implications for the rest of the country.

“We call this dangerous script because, from our findings, Plateau State is merely being used as a pilot by the closet fascists who are well on their way to making Nigeria into a one-party dictatorship.”
