The Court of Appeal in Abuja has
thrown out an application by Senator Dino Melaye seeking to stop the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from initiating the process of
his recall.
An Abuja Federal High Court had
in September, 2017 given the electoral umpire the go-ahead to begin Melaye’s
recall process.
Justice Mohammed Mustapha-led two
member committee ruled that there was no time limit to complete the recall
process as provided in Section 69 (b) of the 1999 Constitution.
Similarly, the Appeal Court on
Thursday held that Melaye’s appeal was ‘inchoate’ as INEC does not need to give
reasons for commencing the recall process.
