Court Approves Melaye's Recall To Go On
According to Sahara Reporters,
the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has ruled that the recall process
initiated by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to
recall Senator Dino Melaye from the Nigerian Senate has to be restarted
after it was initially paused when the Senator filed an appeal against a
Federal High Court ordering the recall to go on.
In a unanimous decision this earlier today, the court dismissed the appeal filed by Melaye against the judgment of the Federal High Court delivered last year.
The appellate struck out the suit filed at the court on the ground that there was no cause of action and the federal high that initially adjudicated the case lacked jurisdiction and ought not to have entertained the case in the first place.
