In a statement made
available on Tuesday, and signed by one of its Commissioner, Mallam Mohammed
Haruna, a revised timetable and schedule of activities will be released on
September 18, 2017 in compliance with the orders of the court.
The Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced that it would resume the recall
process for the senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Dino
Melaye.
The statement partly reads:
“It will be recalled that in obedience to an interlocutory order of the Federal
High Court, Abuja given on 6th July, 2017 the Independent National Electoral Commission
stayed all actions relating to the petition to recall Senator Dino Melaye as
the senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District.
“Judgment in the suit was
delivered yesterday, September 11, 2017.
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 INEC
guidelines and regulation.
“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.”
