Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) on Thursday, said they have confidence in the judiciary.
They said the Supreme Court will serve justice in the recent court judgments that upturned the elections of some governors.
The Drum Reporter had reported that Court Sacks Plateau State Governor, Mutfwang.
The governors, who met on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party Governors Forum, restated their belief in the apex court after their meeting in Abuja.
Also, the governors called on the Federal Government to introduce a new revenue allocation formula. They advocated one that would give more money to states and local government councils.
The forum made these points in a communique issued after its meeting on Thursday in Abuja and read by its Chairman, Mohammed.
Mohammed said they reviewed the recent judgments of the Court of Appeal and noted the mixed outcomes.
“As a forum, we once again re-state our overall confidence in the judiciary to do justice.
“We believe that the Supreme Court will do justice in the cases where we recorded temporary setbacks. There is Zamfara and Plateau,” he said.
Mohammed said that the meeting also reviewed the off-season election in Kogi, Bayelsa, and Imo.
