The Supreme Court had on Friday sacked Umar Danladi from the senatorial seat and ordered the Senate President to swear in Lau as his replacement. The apex court also ordered Danladi and the lawmaker representing Vandeikya/Konshisha Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Mr. Herman Hembe, who were sacked same day by the same court, to refund all the salaries and/or emoluments which they had collected while occupying their respective seats in the National Assembly. In the lead judgment of a five-man panel headed by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, the apex court ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to withdraw the certificates of return issued to them. It also ordered INEC to issue fresh certificate of return to Isah Lau to replace Danladi as the representative of Taraba North Senatorial District in the Senate. The apex court held that Danladi of the Peoples Democratic Party was not proper candidates of the party in the last legislative election. Justice Amina Augie, in the lead judgment of a five-man panel in the appeal by Lau, found that Danladi was not qualified to have been made a candidate of the PDP in the last senatorial election. Lau, who came second in the primary held on December 11, 2016, challenged the announcement of Umar, who was by then sacked as Acting Governor of Taraba State by the Supreme Court, as the winner of the primary. Before judgment could be delivered in the case, the PDP replaced Lau with Danladi after giving the governorship ticket to Darius Ishaku. Lau pressed on with his case, arguing that the substitution was unlawful.]]>
