The National and State Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Gombe State on Tuesday sacked the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Abubakar Luggerewo.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Luggerewo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the March 18 election in Akko central district ahead of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Bashir Abdullahi.
Abdullahi, however, approached the tribunal to nullify the speaker’s victory over the cancellation of results in some polling units in the district.
