Trouble is not yet over for Senator Dino Melaye following insistence by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to issue a fresh timeline to commence the process of recalling him from the Senate.
The timetable, INEC said, will be released on Monday, September 18, 2017.
In a statement in Abuja, signed by Mallam Mohammed Haruna, National Commissioner and Member Information and Voter Education Committee, INEC said the proposed action is valid in the light of the order of court.
INEC said in obedience to an interlocutory order of the Federal High Court, Abuja given on July 6, 2017, the commission stayed all actions relating to the petition to recall Melaye.
Noting that judgment in the suit was delivered Monday September 11, 2017, the statement said: “All legal hurdles have now been cleared and the recall process can now proceed as envisaged by the Constitution, the Electoral Act and the extant lNEC guidelines and regulations.
“Accordingly, and in compliance with the orders of the Court, the Commission will release a revised timetable and schedule of activities on Monday, September 18, 2017.”
