Mr Dogara, who represents Bogoro/Dass Federal constituency of Bauchi State, was the Speaker of the House of Representatives between 2015 and 2019.

  
A Federal High Court in Abuja has sacked Yakubu Dogara from the House of Representatives and declared his seat vacant.

Mr Dogara, who represents Bogoro/Dass Federal constituency of Bauchi State, was the Speaker of the House of Representatives between 2015 and 2019.

The judge, D.U. Okorowo, on Friday, ruled that Mr Dogara’s defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) was wrong and meant he should vacate the legislative seat.

Mr Dogara defected to the APC after winning his re-election under the PDP in 2019

His frosty relationship with his state governor, Bala Mohammed, was one of the main reasons he ditched the PDP which he joined less than five years ago.

*2024: APC Guber Candidate, Okpevbolo Mocks Oshiomhole As Idahosa Returns From Foreign Trip* Senator Adams Oshiomhole has been mocked by Senator Monday Okpevbolo, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for September 21st governorship election, after Dennis Idahosa returned to Nigeria on a trip out of the country without being arrested overseas.  Senator Okpevbolo was heard in a short video clip saying "The incoming Deputy Governor of Edo State has returned back to Nigeria and he was not arrested after touring Europe and America as insinuated".
