The Federal High Court in Abuja has removed Rep. Abubakar Gummi from office for defecting from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Gummi, who represents the Gummi/Bukkuyum Federal Constituency of Zamfara State in the House of Representatives, lost his seat following a judgment delivered by Justice Obiora Egwuatu.
In his ruling, Justice Egwuatu held that Gummi’s defection was unconstitutional and ordered the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, to cease recognising him as the representative of the constituency.
