Sack Order: No Cause For Alarm, We’re Appealing Judgment – Dogara
BY ADEYEMI AKANJI, BAUCHI – Former Speaker, House of Reps, Barrister Yakubu Dogara says there is no cause for alarm over the court judgment sacking him as the member representing Bogoro/Dass/Tafawa Balewa Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.
According to Dogara, his legal team is already preparing grounds to approach the Appeal Court on the Federal High Court’s ruling on Friday, April 22, 2022, declaring his seat in the Lower Legislative Chamber vacant, and victory would be achieved.
Reacting to the Court judgment through his Counsel, Johnson J. Usman (SAN), the former Speaker urged his supporters to remain calm as the Appeal Court would soon remedy the injustice done at the lower court.
The Senior Lawyer said Hon Dogara has already instructed them to immediately file an appeal aimed at quashing the judgment, saying; “The judgment has just been delivered and we have briefed our client right from the Court and he has expressed dissatisfaction against the judgment and has instructed that we file an appeal immediately which we shall do on Monday.”
“The decision of the Court that there is evidence of defection to APC is not substantiated by any shred of evidence in the Court’s record. We are proceeding to the Court of Appeal immediately”, Usman confirmed.
