Yakubu Dogara, Speaker of the House of Representatives, has finally sworn in Dorothy Mato as replacement for Herman Hembe, who was sacked by the Supreme Court.

During his time as a member of the lower legislative chamber, Hembe, an ally of Dogaras, headed the House Committee on the Federal Capital Territory.

The Supreme Court had ruled that Mato, not Hembe, was the authentic candidate of the APC in the federal legislative election held in 2015.

It ordered INEC to immediately issue her a certificate of return, and directed the leadership of the House of Representatives to immediately swear her in.

But Dogara, a lawyer by training, refused to obey the judgement of the Supreme Court to swear Mato in.

With Mato’s swearing in on Tuesday, the people of Vandeikya/Konshisha Federal Constituency of Benue State now have proper representation at the House of Representatives.‎
