The sack occurs days after another House of Reps member from Kano, Abdulmumin Jibrin, was also sacked by the appeal court.
But the Court of Appeal judges said they wondered how the tribunal arrived at the conclusion that PDP and its candidate had failed to prove their case. The appellate court held that the entire election could not stand as Independent National Electoral Commission had omitted other parties from the final declaration of the result.
The court therefore ordered INEC to conduct fresh election within 90 days in the entire constituency.Mr. Doguwa emerged as the house majority leader at the beginning of the ninth assembly after a consensus by the North-West caucus of the house.AdvertisementBefore his sack, he was one of the oldest members of the house, having been elected for a fifth term. He was first elected in the short-lived Fourth Republic in 1993.
They might come back!
