Court Sacks Zamfara Lawmaker For Defecting From PDP To APC (Pix) by Nemere2020(op): 2:11pm On Oct 31, 2025
The Federal High Court in Abuja has sacked Rep Abubakar Gummi, for defecting from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to All Progressives Congress (APC).

Gummi, represents Gummi/Bukkuyum Federal Constituency of Zamfara in the House of Representatives,

Justice Obiora Egwuatu, in a judgment, restrained the Speaker, House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, from further recognising Gummi as member representing Gummi/ Bukkuyum Federal Constituency.

More of it. May be a template is being set. Please extend it to the governors and any political office holder. You don't carry a party's mandate and dash another party on a platter of gold.

All these political awhoring by selfish politicians is about to end. Since the NASS has refused to legislate on this disturbing issue in the polity, then the courts should therefore set an example. Nonsense!

Would be overturned.

PDP's in crisis.

Normal, Normal, this is what ought to be the standard so we do not destroy this country.

Let's see how this does. PDP will soon flood the court now

Wonderful. That's a very good one.

Another court is waiting to counter this rubbish. APC Knows what they are doing. Their men are at the supreme Court waiting to do their bidding

He will just appeal and be reinstated. Simple.

Nigeria my country.

The Appeal Court cannot go against past judgement of the Supreme Court. They will only delay!

The Appeal Court will simply do nothing until 2027. However, the Speaker will simply say the matter is before an Appeal Court and keep him there.
Mrhonesty:
Not about your country. The constitution states that if there is no problems in the party and a member who was elected on the platform of the party defected, the defected member automatically lost the position but in a situation of a tatered party like PDP, defected members have nothing to loose or fear because it's clear and glaring.
ufotunang:
...and the supreme court will finally sack him
We all know about the supreme court judgement. But we also know that before the final judgement from the supreme court will be delivered, it would be of no consequence as he would have either come to the end of his tenure or already campaining for re-election.

who are we kidding.


Warm regards.

How i wish this can also happen to all other person that decamped from their political parties?
Re: Court Sacks Zamfara Lawmaker For Defecting From PDP To APC (Pix) by Efuaye(m): 2:28pm On Oct 31, 2025
Is this not supposed to be an interesting news today?
The impunity of defections is hurting democracy and gliding Nigeria into a one-party state.
Tinubu stayed back to build ACN and today he is reaping from that dedication.
Shame on all the political prostitutes.
I wish PE could stay back in the Labour Party and build it into a force to be reckoned with tomorrow…BUT!

Good move, though we can't celebrate yet as I m sure an appeal court will reverse that ruling.

My thought exactly and then satisfies their quest for a "legal" precedence, in subsequent defections

It only to suit your agenda and narratives.
Is he the cause of the chaos in PDP?
Nobody in his right sense and ambitious will remain in that PDP.
You're always moved by emotions and not constitution and logic.
This is not cult group but political parties.

What about others that have defected what makes his own case different?[color=#990000][/color]

Ceremonial judgment...!

APC-owned higher courts will overturn it and have him well reinstated.

Finished country!
Re: Court Sacks Zamfara Lawmaker For Defecting From PDP To APC (Pix) by Kukutente23: 2:34pm On Oct 31, 2025
Who took the case to court

Is the FHC judge unaware of SC judgement in the Rivers case which said even courts cannot declare a seat vacated?
These judges should be reading newspapers abeg
Re: Court Sacks Zamfara Lawmaker For Defecting From PDP To APC (Pix) by 1972xy: 2:36pm On Oct 31, 2025
The judgement cannot stand. Ask me why?
The Judge is an Obidient.

The SC in the rivers case said no court can declare a seat vacant. It said that responsibility only belongs to the Speaker of the House
I belive that is the latest ruling of the court and it effectively nullifies the earlier ruling

While the associates of Mr Gbajue that went to LP with him are leaving him behind and dumping him. Because Mr Gbajue does not have what it takes to be a leader.

This is highly welcome, and I believe it will curb the madness of party defection by elected officials in Nigeria.
Re: Court Sacks Zamfara Lawmaker For Defecting From PDP To APC (Pix) by ViceGovernor: 2:42pm On Oct 31, 2025
Good one ..more wigs to the judge's head.

Political prostitution should be not only be discouraged it should be illegal and punishable.

Next up is the crossover governors they should all lose their seats.....imagine voting for party A and one disloyal fellow would switch to party B after taking your votes from party A.

No principle with any politician forking chameleoneros.
