Dino Melaye’s Recall: INEC Receives Court Judgement
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on Monday, received the ruling of a Federal High Court on the process to recall the senator representing Kogi West senatorial district, Dino Melaye.
INEC spokesperson, Rotimi Oyekanmi, who made the revelation, added that the commission is yet to study the court ruling.
“We have a copy of the court ruling now; so, we have to study it and make a decision, and that will take a while”, he said.
Recall that a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, last Thursday rejected the embattled Senator’s motion for a temporary injunction restraining INEC from proceeding with the recall process until the determination of suit challenging his recall.

The court however ruled that the parties “maintain status quo pending the hearing of the motion on notice” and adjourned the case till September 29 for hearing of the motion on notice.
