The Speaker of Plateau State House of Assembly, Moses Sule has been sacked by the state election petitions tribunal.
The election petition tribunal sitting in Jos, sacked the lawmaker, who was elected on the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP’s platform in the last election.
He was sacked alongside Danjuma Azi, a member representing Jos North West constituency in the assembly.
The tribunal declared the former majority leader of the house, Hon. Naanlong Daniel and Hon. Mark Na’ah, all of the APC as winners of the March 18 elections.
The petitioner had challenged the sponsorship of the Sule and Azi on the grounds that the PDP was not qualified to participate in the election for lack of party structure.
Delivering the judgment, the tribunal led by Muhammad Tukur said PDP was not qualified to sponsor the respondents for the election.
He held that as the party did not have structure, “nothing can stand on nothing.”
