More than a month ago that Nigeria's supreme court sacked the lawmaker representing Vandeikya/Konshisha Federal Constituency, Benue State, Hon Iorwase Herman Hembe, and ordered his replacement with Hon. Mrs Dorathy Mato, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon.Yakubu Dogara has refused to comply with the order.
Recall that the Supreme Court had on June 23, 2017 sacked Hembe as member of the lower chamber representing Vandeikya / Konshisha Federal Constituency, Benue State. The apex court also ordered Hembe to vacate the seat immediately and refund all salaries and entitlements he collected from 2015 to date to the National Assembly within 90 days.
Dogara's refusal to obey the supreme court order has been greeted with anger, condemnation from stakeholders who felt the speaker may be playing partisan politics with his 'boy', Hembe.
DailyTimes gathered that Dogara has rebuffed all entreaties by close associates of Hon Mato to administer the oath of office on her, despite the fact that the Senate had on July 5 ,2017 sworn in Senator Shuaibu Isa Lau, Taraba North, who obtained similar order same day from Supreme Court with Hon. Mato.
