Appeal Court Rules In Favor Of Danjuma Goje, Penalizes APC

The Court of Appeal in Abuja has upheld Senator Muhammad Danjuma Goje’s status as a valid member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Gombe State, overturning a prior decision that had expelled him from the party. In a ruling delivered on Tuesday by Justices Abba B. Mohammed, E.O. Abang, and P.C. Obiora, the appellate court reversed the Federal High Court’s decision that had barred Goje from presenting himself as an APC member……. CONTINUE READING 

The court also imposed a ₦200,000 fine on the APC’s Gombe State chapter.

Senator Goje, representing Gombe Central Senatorial District, was expelled by the APC’s Kashere Ward in Akko Local Government Area in April 2023 due to allegations of anti-party activities during the 2023 elections. After his expulsion, Goje, through his lawyer Paul Erokoro (SAN), appealed the Federal High Court’s decision that had upheld his dismissal.

Goje contended that his right to a fair hearing was breached, as the expulsion letter from the Ward Chairman, Tanimu Abdullahi, lacked specific details about the alleged anti-party activities. The Court of Appeal agreed with Goje’s argument, nullifying the previous judgment and reinstating him as an APC member.
