Court Sacks Yakubu Dogara From House Of Reps by vicdom(op): 5:20pm On Apr 22, 2022

A Federal High Court in Abuja has sacked Yakubu Dogara from the House of Representatives and declared his seat vacant.

Mr Dogara, who represents Bogoro/Dass Federal constituency of Bauchi State, was the Speaker of the House of Representatives between 2015 and 2019.

The judge, D.U. Okorowo, on Friday, ruled that Mr Dogara’s defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) was wrong and meant he should vacate the legislative seat.

Mr Dogara defected to the APC after winning his re-election under the PDP in 2019

His frosty relationship with his state governor, Bala Mohammed, was one of the main reasons he ditched the PDP which he joined less than five years ago.

Details later…

This is ideal in a democratic setting as it will discourage unwarranted cross carpeting. The judgment will be appealed , however, we expect the higher courts to give credence to this judgement to improve our political process.

These polithiefians have no shame. Useless lots.

The Federal High Court (FHC) sitting in Abuja on Thursday delivered a judgement in favour of Cross River Governor, Prof Ben Ayade; and his deputy, Prof Ivara Esu, in respect of their defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Ayade won on principle of stare decisis. Stare decisis is the doctrine that courts will adhere to precedent in making their decisions. The Judge also held that the court cannot remove a governor sworn-in on the basis of defection.

The Judge, Justice Taiwo Taiwo, came in at exactly 2:15 pm. After the introduction of appearance for the PDP and others, reading of judgement commenced.

The court was full to capacity. Present in court were two governorship aspirants, Barrister Chris Agara and Arc Edem Duke; APC Cross River State Chairman Alphonsus Ogar Eba; Rt Hon Mike Etaba; Senator Stephen Odey; and Cross River State Attorney General/Commissioner for Justice, Barr Tanko Ashang.

Also present were Barr Pius Onigah, Comrade Nchor Kingsley, Christopher Ogar, Bukie Okangbe , Kalita Joe Aruku, among others.

Nigerian lawyers and judges are just confused human beings. 2 persons interprete the same law differently.

They are causing more problems than they solve. The Supreme Court should bury this decamping issue once and for all.
