[Shola Sholaz]

A Jalingo High Court has fixed Sept. 30, for ruling on Taraba House of Assembly's. application on the transfer of Gov. Danbaba Suntai's suit to Court of Appeal.
.
The House is calling for the interpretation of Section 190(2) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).
.
The judge, Justice Ali Andeyantso will give his ruling on the case between Gov. Suntai and the House of Assembly and the Speaker, Haruna Tsokwa based on the application.
.
The Counsel to the Speaker, Yusuf Ali (SAN) on Sept. 13th, 2013 filed an application, seeking transfer of the matter since the issue in question, according to him, had no judicial precedence.
.
Ali told the court that an interpretation by the court of appeal would enable the High Court to determine the matter accordingly.
.
The Counsel to Taraba State of House Assembly, Yusufu Akirikwen, also submitted similar application.
.
The Counsel to Gov. Suntai, Alex Izinyon (SAN), however, opposed the two applications, saying that they were "premature and grossly misconceived'' and urged the court to dismiss both applications.
