Senator Melaye Recall Process: INEC Waiting For Decision of Appeal Court

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said that it would wait for the decision of the appellate court on the recall process of Senator Dino Melaye (Kogi West Senatorial District).

In a press statement on Tuesday signed by National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee Solomon A. Soyebi, the commission said it would follow due process in its activities toward the recall of the senator, affirming that it has not chickened out of the recall process.

Mr. Soyebi stated that the commission then approached the court for substituted service but was directed to make further attempts to serve the Senator but when those failed, INEC returned to the court to pursue the request for substituted service but that it declined jurisdiction in view of the appeal by the Senator in the Court of Appeal.
