A Federal High court sitting in Abuja has sacked the former speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara, declaring his seat vacant.
The judge, D.U Okorowo on Friday ruled that Dogara’s defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) was inappropriate and ordered him to vacate the legislative seat.
Meanwhile, Mr Dogara who represents Bogoro/Dass Federal constituency of Bauchi State and was speaker of the House between 2015 and 2019 defected to APC after winning his re-election bid under the PDP in 2019.
