constituents.

Senator Dino Melaye of Kogi West Senatorial district has filed a
lawsuit at the Federal high Court in Abuja seeking a court injunction to
halt his recall from the Senate.
According to SaharaReporters sources, a panic-stricken Melaye had
been shopping for a judge in the last 48 hours that could grant an
injunction to halt the process after word reached him that the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was meeting to decide
on an appropriate response to the submission of more 188,000 signatures
to their headquarters on Wednesday from his constituents who wanted him
recalled from the Nigerian Senate.
On Thursday INEC issued a statement notifying the public that it
will be verifying the signatures on July 3rd 2017. The commission also
wrote to Melaye notifying him of the official commencement of the recall
exercise.
Mr. Melaye’s lawyers today filed a 33-page legal argument seeking
to obtain injunctive reliefs from the court. The application was
accompanied by an affidavit of urgency filed by a staff of Mr.
Ozekhome’s law firm.
