Tudun Wada/Doguwa: Appeal Court Sacks Reps House Leader, Doguwa
Hon. Alhassan Ado Doguwa
The Court of Appeal sitting in Kaduna on Monday has sacked the member representing Tudunwada/Doguwa Federal Constituency in Kano state, Alhassan Ado Doguwa.
Doguwa, who is the Majority Leader, is the third ranking member of the House after Speaker and Deputy Speaker.
The court nullified the entire election in the two local government areas Mr Doguwa represents as the whole process was marred by irregularities.
In a unanimous judgment delivered by Justice Oludotun Adefope-Okojie, the appellate court held that the entire election could not hold as omitted other parties were from the final declaration of the result.
The court said the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, made a substantial breach by writing the results of only two parties out of 53 parties that participated in the election in Form EC 8 (II) E.
