Justice Donatus Okorowo of a Federal High Court in Abuja, on Wednesday, fixed April 11 for judgment in suit seeking for the declaration of the seat of Speaker, House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, vacant on account of his defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The trial judge said though the judgment was earlier scheduled for today, it was not ready.
Recall that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had asked the court to remove the former Speaker, House of Representatives, Dogara, as member representing Dass, Tafawa Balewa and Bogoro Federal Constituency of Bauchi State, over his defection to APC.
While the PDP and its Bauchi State Chairman, Hamza Akuyam, are the plaintiffs, Dogara, the speaker of the House of Representatives, the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the APC are 1st to 5th defendants respectively in the suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/1060/2020.
