INEC to resume Dino Melaye’s recall













The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it would continue with the process of recalling Senator Dino Melaye in line with the judgement of the Court of Appeal

At the appeal court on Friday in Abuja, the three judges, led by Justice Tunde Awotoye, dismissed the appeal filed by Melaye against the judgment delivered by Justice Nnamdi Dimgba at the Federal High Court in 2017, on grounds that there was no cause of action. 

“For now, all legal hurdles as far as we are aware have been removed so the commission should proceed as if the case did not occur,” says INEC’s Director of Publicity and Voter Education, Mr Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi.

Voters of Kogi West senatorial district of the embattled senators appended signatures for the recall of the senator. The recall process was commenced by INEC, but Melaye headed for the court to halt it. However, he lost at the High Court and thereafter appealed.

Justice Dimgba had on September 11, 2017, dismissed the suit filed by Senator Melaye, seeking to stop INEC from initiating his recall from the National Assembly. He held that senator Melaye’s complaints were ‘hasty, premature and presumptuous” and therefore ordered INEC to go ahead with its planned verification exercise of the 188,588 registered voters who were said to have signed a petition in support of the recall process.

INEC has fixed April 28 for verification, and May 5 for a referendum to be conducted in line with the electoral laws. Meanwhile, Senator Melaye has vowed to proceed to the Supreme Court to challenge this decision

  1. Effective love spell to get your Ex back urgently
    Hello
    I'm so excited share this testimony,
    i sincerely hope my post gets read
    and hopefully helps somebody along
    the line my husband took my case
    to court for a divorce. he said that
    he never wanted to stay with me
    again, and that he didn’t love me
    anymore. So he packed out of the
    house and made me and my
    children passed through severe
    pain. I tried all my possible means to
    get him back, after much begging
    but all to no avail and he confirmed
    it that he has made his decision and
    he never wanted to see me again.
    So on one evening as i was coming
    back from work i met an old friend
    of mine who asked of my husband.
    So i explained every thing to her so
    she told me that the only way i can
    get my husband back, is to visit a
    great spell caster called Dr Ahmed
    utimate, who has really worked for
    her too to get her husband. So i
    never believed in spell but i had no
    other choice than to follow her
    advice. Then she gave me the email
    address of the spell caster, So the
    next morning i sent a mail to the
    address she gave to me and the
    spell caster assured me that i will
    get my husband back the next day.
    What an amazing statement!! I never
    believed so he spoke with me and
    told me everything that i need to do.
    Then the next morning So
    surprisingly my husband who didn’t
    call me for the past seven months
    gave me a call to inform me that he
    was coming back. So Amazing!! So
    that was how he came back that
    same day with lots of love and joy,
    he apologized for his mistake and
    for the pain he caused me and my
    children. Then from that day our
    relationship was now stronger than
    how it were before, So i will advice
    you out there if you have any
    problem contact Prophet Dr Ahmed
