A member of the Adamawa State House of Assembly, Hon Musa Bororo, has lost his seat for defecting from the All Progressives Congress (APC) under which he won the seat to Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Bororo, who was elected to represent Mubi South Constituency in the Assembly in 2019, defected to PDP in April 2022 following which the APC took him to court demanding that his seat be declared vacant.
The Federal High Court II in Yola, which passed its judgment on the case on Monday, ordered that Bororo ceases to be in office.
Justice Saleh Kogo of the Federal High Court ordered the member to vacate his seat with immediate effect.
The court ruled that Bororo could not legally leave the APC to PDP and remain in office.
The judge, however, dismissed suits filed by the APC against the member representing Mubi North, Hon Shuaibu Dan Musa and member representing Fufure/Gurin, Hon Shuaibu Babas who also defected from the APC to PDP at different times.
He said the APC failed to prove its case against the two.
Adamawa APC took the three lawmakers to court in October last year for leaving to the PDP.
