A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the immediate sack of Senator Atai Aidoko Ali, as the member representing Kogi East at the Nigeria’s Senate.
The court presided over by judge, Gabriel Kolawole, ruled that Aidoko Ali was wrongly presented as the flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the December 2014 Primaries conducted by the PDP.
Following the presentation of Aidoko as the party’s flag bearer, his challenger, Isaac Alfa, began a legal battle for the nullification of Aidoko’s election.
An appeal court had ordered parties to return to the trial court to allow it determine the rightful owner of the suit, thus rendering the seat vacant.
However, Aidoko refused vacating the office and has appeared repeatedly at Senate plenaries since then.
On Wednesday, the court ordered the PDP and Aidoko to pay Alfa N750,000 each.
