A
former aide of President Buhari who resigned to contest election has
been sacked by a court after winning election into the House of Reps.
Sulaiman Sumaila
A federal high court sitting in Kano has disqualified Sulaiman
Sumaila, a former aide of President Muhammadu Buhari, as the duly
elected representative of Sumaila/Takai federal constituency of Kano at
the national assembly, TheCable reports.
Sumaila had resigned his appointment as senior special assistant to
the president on national assembly (house of reps) to contest the
election and he was declared winner.
But at the court on Thursday Lewis Allagoa, the presiding judge,
ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to withdraw
the certificate of return issued to Sumaila “as he did not participate in the primary election of the party”.
Shamsudeen Dambazau, the plaintiff, had approached the court,
praying the nullification of Sumaila as candidate of the the All
Progressives Congress (APC) in the election.
He argued that Sumaila did not participate in the primary election of the ruling party.
He told the court through his counsel, Nuraini Jimoh that Sumaila
contested for Kano south senatorial ticket of the APC but lost.
In his ruling, Allagoa also ordered INEC to recognise Dambazau as
the duly elected house of representative member representing for
Sumaila/Takai federal constituency.
Muhammad Tofa, Sumaila’s lawyer, refused to comment on the matter when journalists approached him in court.
