Dino Melaye Mock court Judgment on recall, and reveals reason why he won’t obey


Kogi West senator, Dino Melaye has yesterday denied claims that hhe was evading the service of petition and timetable for his recall process from the senate, by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)


Dino Melaye says “The window provided by the constitution for the service of recall petition had elapsed and I would not be seen to be breaching the law”

“it is clear that by the provision of section 69(b) of the 1999 constitution INEC must act on the petition purportedly presented to it on June 23, 2017 by conducting a referendum within 90days of receipt of the petition”.

“The time having elapsed, I cannot under the circumstances, aid and bet INEC to further infringe on the provision of the constitution, which I have sworn to defend”

Dino Melaye now further assured his position by citing case such as that of Nyako VS. Adamawa State  House of assembly, and All Nigerian Peoples  Party ANPP VS Alhaji Mohammed Goni.
